Getting the transform.Postion off a instantiated object
I am making a basic RTS game and i have an enemy in the world that must be able to detect the players units. The player units are instantiated objects that are in a List of gameobjects
public List<GameObject> pooledObjects;
pooledObjects = new List<GameObject>();
GameObject tmp;
for (int i = 0; i < amountToPool; i++)
{
if (pooledObjects.Count <= maxAllies)
{
tmp = Instantiate(objectToPool);
tmp.SetActive(true);
pooledObjects.Add(tmp);
}
}
Currently how i am detecting the player is:
void PlayerDetection()
{
if(Vector3.Distance(gameObject.transform.position, playerScript.agent.transform.position) < 13f)
{
enemy.destination = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform.position;
}
else if (Vector3.Distance(gameObject.transform.position, playerScript.agent.transform.position) > 13f)
{
enemy.destination = gameObject.transform.position;
}
}
But doesnt work with the instatiated objects.
void AllyDetection()
{
if(Vector3.Distance(gameObject.transform.position, ally.transform.position) < 13f)
{
enemy.destination = ally.transform.position;
}
else if (Vector3.Distance(gameObject.transform.position, ally.transform.position) > 13f)
{
enemy.destination = gameObject.transform.position;
}
}
Finding ally with:
ally = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("ally").GetComponent<GameObject>();
Have you tried instantiating "tmp" as a gameobject? Looks something like:
tmp = instantiate(ObjectToPool) as GameObject;
then you should be able to reference the GameObject's transform.position by using tmp.transform.position.
