How to randomly instantiate prefabs after a certain time?
What i want to have is an object(the prefab) falling down randomly( in the x direction) from a certain height. I think i have achieved the script for this correctly, now i want to instantiate each prefab after a certain amount of time say like a random range over a few seconds??
Any help will be appreciated as am a bit of a beginner at this. =)
So assuming you have the following code to instantiate a prefab immediately:
void Create()
{
// create the new object
GameObject go = Instantiate(prefab);
// init some properties of the new object
go.transform.position = pos;
go.name = "foo";
}
Then to delay that, you would move it into an own function and call "Invoke" with the functions name and the delay as second parameter.
void Create()
{
// remember to instantiate later
Invoke("CreateNow", Random.Range(2f, 3f)); // randomly between 2 and 3 seconds
}
void CreateNow()
{
// create the new object
GameObject go = Instantiate(prefab);
// init some properties of the new object
go.transform.position = pos;
go.name = "foo";
}
well my code somewhat looks like this now :
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class NewBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject prefab;
float xPosition;
void Start () {
xPosition=Random.Range(-10,10);
Instantiate(prefab, new Vector3(xPosition, 5,-33), Quaternion.identity);
}
void Update () {
}
}
So the invoke functions takes the function name which is instantiating the prefab as it's first parameter and the time range for delay as it's second parameter?
