how to instantiate in an extension?
i am trying to instantiate a prefab inside an extension:
public static class ChickenExtension {
public static GameObject eggPrefab;
public static void LayEgg(this Chicken chicken) {
Instantiate(eggPrefab);
}
}
i get the error:
error CS0103: The name `Instantiate' does not exist in the current context
i believe the reason has to do with the ChickenExtension class not deriving from mono, but since an extension requires a static class, i cannot derive it from mono either. how should i go about doing this?
Instantiate method is inherited from UnityEngine.Object. Because your class ChickenExtension is not derived from UnityEngine.Object, you need to add:
using UnityEngine;
and call the method like this:
GameObject.Instantiate(eggPrefab);

thanks so much! that solves my problem. how come i can't vote up the answer? i get a message saying that i don't have permission.
ohh... i'll work hard on my karma and come back to vote up your answer once i meet the requirement. i am afraid my heartfelt gratitude is all i can offer meanwhile. thank you again. :-)
