Stop instantiate on collision from other script
Hey guys,
This question comes in completion of my previous one "How to limit instantion of prefabs/gameobjects".
So I have a script called "CreateWall" that I use to instantiate objects in certain directions on mouse click&drag.
The instantiation code looks something like this:
function SpawnFence()
{
if (sss == 1 && !someCol.someBool)
{
position_var = clone2.position + Vector3(0,20,0);
clone3 = Instantiate(wallObject, position_var, Quaternion.identity);
clone3.parent = parentofwall;
clone3.transform.position.z = 0;
last_clone = clone3;
if(!someCol.someBool){
sss = 2;
}
}
and it goes on and one until the last clone.
The collision script is currently set on the object that is being instantiated and it has the following code:
function Awake()
{
wallCreate = GameObject.Find("Background - GameManager").GetComponent.<CreateWall>();
someBool = false;
}
function OnTriggerEnter(hit:Collider)
{
if(hit.collider.tag == "SomWall")
{
wallCreate.sss = 0;
Debug.Log ("collided");
someBool = true;
}
}
Here's my problem. The sss var is being set to 0 in my CreateWall, my someBool is becoming true right when colliding but i think objects are instantiating too fast for the script to have time to run through this. Should I slow it down using WaitForSeconds or should I rewrite my whole script?
SEE LAST COMMENT FOR MORE INFO ON THE FIX!
A few things are noticeable:
First, it would always be easier for you (and for us to understand) if you give the variables more meaningful names.
Now, as for the essence of this question - I would assume your problem is that the sss variable is being controlled by both an outside source (your collision detection) and the condition itself, which I can assume is in a loop.
So, as a first test, separate the two. Let the collider control a different variable that is untouched by anyone other then the collider itself ( like wallCreate.isCreationEnabled = false ).
If I am reading your code correctly, I have a feeling this approach will point you in the right direction.
Thank you for the tip, I actually already did both those things with my code. And the collision is triggered (I see the debug message) and also a boolean becomes true.
I'm not sure where my problem stands. I've tried to turn the boolean to static (so I can access it from the other script) but I'm not sure whether it's triggered or not, although the debug message is still sent).
I see. There is another alternative to static or GameObject.Find() that may help you - the "pseudo-singleton" of Unity.
In your WallCreate object, make a variable public static WallCreate instance;, then in its Awake() do instance = this;, and finally, you can now get a reference to it statically, by using WallCreate.instance ins$$anonymous$$d of your GameObject.Find.
Fixed. I'm marking your answer as correct because it's close enough!
If someone ever needs more info on this - I solved it by creating clones only if a variable in the other script was not met (eg: the collision did not occur).
