Pool Instantiate
Ok, so my pooling script has this psyeudo instantiate method. How can have this method behave more like the normal instantiate. So that following 2 things are possible:
// it returns the object
GameObject temp = pool1.Instantiate( pos1, Quaternion.identy) as Gameobject;
//or
GameObject temp = (GameObject ) pool1.Instantiate( pos1, Quaternion.identy);
// it doesnt return anything
poolScript.Instantiate( pos2, Quaternion.identy);
code:
// pseudo instatiate that object
public void Instantiate(Vector3 position, Quaternion rotation)
{
// GetPooledObject gives me the next avaible obj in the pool and returns it
GameObject temp = GetPooledObject ();
temp.transform.position = position;
temp.transform.rotation = rotation;
temp.SetActive (true);
}
public GameObject Instantiate(Vector3 position, Quaternion rotation)
{
// GetPooledObject gives me the next avaible obj in the pool and returns it
GameObject temp = GetPooledObject ();
temp.transform.position = position;
temp.transform.rotation = rotation;
temp.SetActive (true);
return temp;
}
The reason is that you were returning void. You need to return a GameObject
Thanks, surpringly that works. Didnt knew you didnt have to assign the return value of a method.
still out of curiosity, how is the default instantiate coded that it needs the extrabit of (gameobject) to have something assigned to it?
That is called a cast. Instantiate actually requires an Object and returns an Object. You need to cast it into a GameObject in order to be usable. GameObject derives from Object, so you can cast it without any issues.
You might want to read a book on the basics of program$$anonymous$$g, because these questions point out that you don't understand the basics of program$$anonymous$$g and OOP. It will save you a lot of time after you read about it.
