How do I find out the current object I instantiated in the scene?
I'm making an attack functionality which teleports you to an object that I shot out from my player.
if (facingRight)
{
GameObject tmp = (GameObject)Instantiate(Orb, rangedPos.position, Quaternion.identity);
tmp.GetComponent<Orb>().Initialize(Vector2.right);
}
else
{
GameObject tmp = (GameObject)Instantiate(Orb, rangedPos.position, Quaternion.identity);
tmp.GetComponent<Orb>().Initialize(Vector2.left);
}
This is the instantiating method which works perfectly fine. I tried to do this in the Update:
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
player.position = Orb.transform.position
}
}
But it just teleports me to 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 in my scene cause that's where my original orbprefab is which is not what I want. How do I reference the Orb that I Instantiated in my Instantiating function and get its current position as its moving?
Your variable Orb is not changing at all. Instantiate merely copies the content from that variable and creates a new game object, which you assign to tmp. You should have a variable in your class that you assign tmp to, and call that in Update... like so:
GameObject tmp;
...
if (facingRight)
{
tmp = (GameObject)Instantiate(Orb, rangedPos.position, Quaternion.identity);
tmp.GetComponent<Orb>().Initialize(Vector2.right);
}
else
{
tmp = (GameObject)Instantiate(Orb, rangedPos.position, Quaternion.identity);
tmp.GetComponent<Orb>().Initialize(Vector2.left);
}
...
void Update() {
if (tmp != null) player.position = Orb.transform.position;
}
