Description

Starts a coroutine named methodName.

In most cases you want to use the StartCoroutine variation above. However StartCoroutine using a string method name allows you to use with a specific method name. The downside is that the string version has a higher runtime overhead to start the coroutine and you can pass only one parameter.

// In this example we show how to invoke a coroutine using a string name and stop it function Start () {    StartCoroutine("DoSomething", 2.0);    yield (1);    StopCoroutine("DoSomething");} function DoSomething (someParameter : float) {    while (true) {        print("DoSomething Loop");        // Yield execution of this coroutine and return to the main loop until next frame        yield;    }}

using UnityEngine;using System.Collections; public class ExampleClass :  {    IEnumerator Start() {        StartCoroutine("DoSomething", 2.0F);        yield return new (1);        StopCoroutine("DoSomething");    }    IEnumerator DoSomething(float someParameter) {        while (true) {            print("DoSomething Loop");            yield return null;        }    }}
