Why wont my script instantiate multiple instances?
I'm trying to make a script that instantiates a slot prefab into a UI Panel multiple times. After instantiated, the slots need to be given a parent. This is a snippet of my code:
function createInventory () {
for (var i: int = 0; i < 10; i++) {
var Clone = Instantiate(slotObject, inventoryParent.transform.position, inventoryParent.transform.rotation);
Clone.transform.parent = inventoryParent.transform;
}
}
It only seems to be instantiating one slot at the moment. What can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance!
Hi,
First I think you don't need to set the same position and rotation as inventoryParent to Clone because Clone is a child of inventoryParent.
for (var i: int = 0; i < 10; i++) {
var Clone = Instantiate(slotObject);
Clone.transform.SetParent(inventoryParent.transform, false);
}
Have you added a Layout Group to inventoryParent ? If no, maybe your Clones are all at the same position and rotation. Try a VerticalLayoutGroup for example ;-) And if your Clones size shrinks to 0, add a Layout Element to your prefab to define a min and max size.
Thank you for your answer. It seemed to be an issue with having to reload the prefab into the script again from unity, however, it is all sorted now. Thanks
