Modifying/Calling Instantiated Objects
Hey there guys, I'm a little bit stuck on modifying instantiated objects, it seems a bit too difficult for me to work out, what i am trying to achieve is the object that instantiates, I want it to be moved to a child of an object, but i can see what I'm doing wrong, I am trying to move the prefab, not the newly instantiated object, how can i control the instantiated object rather than the prefab to instantiate? this is the c# code i currently have.
if (other.CompareTag("seed"))
{
Destroy(other);
lastPos = other.transform.position;
Instantiate(cottonPlant, lastPos, Quaternion.identity);
//HERE IS THE ISSUE
cottonPlant.transform.parent = dirt.transform;
}
if (other.CompareTag("dfseed"))
{
Destroy(other);
lastPos = other.transform.position;
Instantiate(dragonPlant, lastPos, Quaternion.identity);
//HERE IS THE ISSUE
dragonPlant.transform.parent = dirt.transform;
}
Try something like:
GameObject plant = Instantiate(cottonPlant, lastPos, Quaternion.identity);
plant.transform.SetParent(dirt.transform);
I have found a solution,
if (other.CompareTag("seed"))
{
Destroy(other);
lastPos = other.transform.position;
GameObject gO = Instantiate(cottonPlant, lastPos, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
gO.transform.parent = dirt.transform;
}
if (other.CompareTag("dfseed"))
{
Destroy(other);
lastPos = other.transform.position;
GameObject gO = Instantiate(dragonPlant, lastPos, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
gO.transform.parent = dirt.transform;
}
simply by putting GameObejct 'name' then instantiate i have made a recognizable object that can be used to modify the instantiated prefab.
use SetParent() ins$$anonymous$$d parent.

Thanks for the input, but I'm unsure of how this will interline with my other code calling from that dirt GameObject, as it has to be a Transform, not a GameObject and when i change it to Transform, it messes with everything else that is already working off dir as a GameObject.. im sorry im not the greatest at explaining things haha, this is the code i have if you think there may be a way around this.
