I'm still learning to code so hopefully this is simple to resolve. I am trying to make a turn based RPG and I have run into a problem with my coroutines.
I use these to move the characters and it works the first time around (turn 1), regardless if I choose attack 1 or attack 2. However, when the player has exhausted his teams turns, the enemy attacks and then its the players turn again.
When I try to use an attack at this point the character runs in place forever. Not sure what the problem is but it's clear that the coroutine runs until it hits the first while loop because it is just after the running animation trigger animator.SetBool("Run", true).
The first coroutine is for the basic attack and the second is for special attacks. The enemyPos stores the Vector3 of the enemys location and it comes from another script.
I was researching coroutines but found many conflicting info. For example, that coroutines can't run at the same time, however it is a turn based game and it will only run once per turn per char (the same script is on all chars) so I not sure what the problem is.
I am writing in C# for Unity.
Sorry for novel haha and cheers for your help.
