How to wait for 1 second before continuing async thread?-CodePudding

What I'm trying to achieve here is for the thread to await at FishData fishData = await Fishing().WaitOrCancel(cancelToken); until a not null fishData is returned, else just keep on waiting and checking TryHook() again every 1 second.

I have also tried replacing the await Task.Delay(1000); with Thread.Sleep() but they just doesn't seems to work and instead kept on causing crashes. also tried InvokeRepeating and coroutines but everything got too messy and I'm not even sure I implemented them correctly.

    public async Task<bool> Fish(int ID)
    {
        reelingSuccess = false;
        FishingRodData fishingRodData = inventory.fishingRods[ID];
        if (currentCell.fill == CellFill.Water)
        {
            CancellationToken cancelToken = new CancellationToken();
            try
            {
                FishData fishData = await Fishing().WaitOrCancel(cancelToken);
                bool reelSuccess = await ReelingFish(fishingRodData.cycleTime, fishingRodData.tolerance, fishData.cycles, fishData.hits).WaitOrCancel(cancelToken);//, fishData.speed
                if (reelSuccess) print("successfully reeled in fish");
                else print("failed reeling in fish! better luck next time!");
                inventory.interactBtn.onClick.RemoveAllListeners();
                inventory.interactBtn.onClick.AddListener(delegate { inventory.itrct(); });
            }
            catch (OperationCanceledException) { print("fishing has been cancelled!"); }
            return true;
        } return false;
    }

    async Task<FishData> Fishing()
    {
        **await Task.Delay(1000);**
        print("try hook");
        FishData fish = TryHook();
        if (fish == null) fish = await Fishing();
        return fish;
    }

ps: forgive my english

EDIT: here's the TryHook Code its basically trying to catch a fish based on probability which will mostly return a null, but once every few calls from FishData fish = TryHook(); in Fishing(), it might return a fish.

    FishData TryHook()
    {
        FishData fish = null;
        for (int i = 0; i < fishLs.Length; i  )
        {
            fishLs[i].minValue = inventory.fishes[i].minValue;
            fishLs[i].maxValue = inventory.fishes[i].maxValue;
            fishLs[i].probability = inventory.fishes[i].probability;
        }
        int index = GetRandomValue(fishLs);//get random index in fishLs but based on probability instead of Random.Range()
        if (index != -1) { print("caught fish ind: "   index); fish = inventory.fishes[index]; }
        return fish;
    }

EDIT2: not sure if this is important, but this is how the Fish() is called.

    void Start()
    {
        itrct = new interact(Interact);
        fs = new Fish(activities.Fish);
        rf = new removeFront(RemoveFront);

        tryActivities.Add(new Func<bool>(() => activities.DoNothing()));
        //tryActivities.Add(new Func<bool>(() => activities.Fish(currentSlot.basicData.typeID).Result));
        tryActivities.Add(new Func<bool>(() => fs(currentSlot.basicData.typeID).Result));
        tryActivities.Add(new Func<bool>(() => activities.UseStove(currentSlot.basicData.typeID)));
    }

    public void Interact()//id of currently hold item
    {
        Debug.Log("interact");
        if (currentSlot != null && currentSlot.basicData.allID != -1 && TryPlaceOrUse())//check for hand activity
        {
            Debug.Log("successfully do in-hand activity");
        }
        else if (currentCell.objects.Count > 1 && currentCell.objects[^1].GetComponent<SpawnedObjectData>().allID != -1 &&
            tryActivities[(int)allBasicData[currentCell.objects[^1].GetComponent<SpawnedObjectData>().allID].myActivity]())//check activity infront
        {
            //await tryActivities[2];
            Debug.Log("successfully do in-front activity");
        }
        else Debug.Log("show emotes~ there's not hing to do ~~");
    }

CodePudding user response：

async Task<FishData> Fishing()
{
    while(true)
    {
        await Task.Delay(1000);
        print("try hook");
        FishData fish = TryHook();
        if (fish != null) 
        {                
            return fish;
        } 
    }
}

and then:

var data = await Fishing();
// do what you want with your fish here
