Not understanding how to Instantiate gameobjects on a Tilemap. ,Questions about instantiating objects on a Tilemap (Unity 2D)
Hello, I'm working on my first real Unity game, and while I'm having success in a lot of places, I've run into a problem that I can't seem to fix. I'm trying to instantiate gameobjects on a tilemap, but they instantiate to the center of the tilemap's parent object (with a little bit of variation). In addition, when the objects are parented to a tilemap, they don't show up. I can manipulate them in the Inspector, but I can't actually see the gameobjects.
Here's the code I've written to instantiate the gameobject and parent it to a tilemap
public GameObject ModifyPawn(Army army)
{
GameObject pawn = Instantiate(Pawn, tilemap.transform);
TextMeshProUGUI armyLabel = pawn.transform.FindDeepChild("ArmySize").GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>();
armyLabel.text = army.GetTotalUnits().ToString();
MilitaryHandler.ModifyMoraleBar(pawn, army);
return pawn;
}
Here's the code I've written to change the position of the gameobject
public void SpawnMilitaryPawn(Army army, TileInfoBase tileToSpawnAt)
{
GameObject pawn = ModifyPawn(army);
Vector3Int tile = new Vector3Int(tileToSpawnAt.X, tileToSpawnAt.Y, 0);
Vector3 coord = tilemap.GetCellCenterWorld(tile);
pawn.transform.position = coord;
}
Here's a picture of the hierarchy that includes the military pawns 
And here's a picture of the objects being invisible but still instantiating to the center 
any help is appreciated.
Hey everyone, I fixed this problem. It turns out the gameobjects were too large and were somehow being positioned according to the bottom left corner, which due to their large size, caused them to be near the center of the screen.
