Rotation and timer at the same time on Unity3D

Question

I have a project where I flip a card after 5 seconds, then I want to start a countdown timer of x seconds. After x seconds the card flips again.

I found a good example for the timer here , but that works inside a Update() method. My problem comes from the fact that the rotation of the card is made also inside the Update() method.

If I put the timer inside the Update() method, as soon as the Update() method is called the timer starts, and I don't want it to start it as soon as I call the Update() method, but when I want to start ip, wich is 60 seconds after I flip the card.

If I put the timer inside a method other than Update() then the timer start but never decrease.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 public class Juego1Carta2 : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public float velocidadDeRotacion = 100.0f;
     public Sprite cartaBase;
     public Sprite cartaDelantera;
     private bool carta2Activada = false;
     private bool cartaDeLado = false;
     float tiempoDeJuego = 2;
     IEnumerator Esperar()
     {
         yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);
         transform.position = new Vector3(Screen.width / 2, Screen.height / 2 +GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().bounds.size.y, 0);
         carta2Activada = true;
         Regresa();
     }
void Regresa()
{
    Update();
}
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
    StartCoroutine (Esperar());
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
    if (carta2Activada)
    {
        transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime * velocidadDeRotacion);
        if (transform.eulerAngles.y >= 90)
        {
            SpriteRenderer Carta = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
            if (Carta.sprite == cartaBase)
            {
                Carta.sprite = cartaDelantera;
                cartaDeLado = true;
                carta2Activada = false;
            }
            else
            {
                Carta.sprite = cartaBase;
                cartaDeLado = true;
                carta2Activada = false;
            }
            tiempoDeJuego = 60;
        }
    }
    tiempoDeJuego -= Time.deltaTime;
    if (tiempoDeJuego <= 0)
    {
        print("Fin del tiempo");
    }
    if (cartaDeLado)
    {
        transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime * velocidadDeRotacion);
        if (transform.eulerAngles.y >= 180)
        {
            transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
            cartaDeLado = false;
            carta2Activada = false;
            return;
        }
     }
   }
}

Is there a way to rotate the card and make a countdown timer at the same time?

I'm sorry, maybe this is a very obvious question but after 3 consecutive days working on this, I'm more than burnout...

Answer 1

inside this if statement use the time that you set the timer as to execute the code after 60 seconds, something like this if i understand your question right

if (cartaDeLado)
    {
        if (tiempoDeJuego <= 0){ // dont execute any of the code unless 60 
                                 // seconds is up
        transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime * velocidadDeRotacion);
        if (transform.eulerAngles.y >= 180)
        {
            transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
            cartaDeLado = false;
            carta2Activada = false;
            return;
        }
        }
     }
