Issue with the tank tutorial health system
I'm not understanding the code:
private void Awake ()
{
// Instantiate the explosion prefab and get a reference to the particle system on it.
m_ExplosionParticles = Instantiate (m_ExplosionPrefab).GetComponent<ParticleSystem> ();
// Get a reference to the audio source on the instantiated prefab.
m_ExplosionAudio = m_ExplosionParticles.GetComponent<AudioSource> ();
// Disable the prefab so it can be activated when it's required.
m_ExplosionParticles.gameObject.SetActive (false);
}
In the first line, it's obtaining the particle system from a game object. That's cool, I understand that. But the second line then gets the audio not from the prefab where it's been set up on, but on the particle system itself, which doesn't have an AudioSource afaict? How does this work? Shouldn't the code read
var instance = Instantiate(m_ExplosionPrefab);
m_ExplosionParticles = instance.GetComponent<ParticleSystem>();
m_ExplosionAudio = instance.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
