How do i make an object spawn another one?
I want to be able to make an object i have spawn a copy of another one i have. I think i have to "tag" my objects so when i code they know what im referring to? how do i do this, when i go to change my tags the generic ones come up, i cant add my own, and the script still doesn't know what im talking about. Any help would be appreciated.
For tagging, use the Tag Manager. Click on the triangle next to Tags, Increase the size, and An on the right opposite Element#, type in your tag. Then you can use the tag dropdown to set the tag for a specific object.
But to do what I think you want to do, you don't need the tag. Just use the name. Something like:
var go = GameObject.Find("ObjectName");
if (go != null)
Instantiate(go);
Note the object name has to be exactly how you name your object.
Thanks! I got the tagging down, but the actual spawning is still hard. I want to try to make a car model i have spawn an insect model and then after that make the insects change the player. The javascript i made after tagging my insect works (it lets me run the game) but im not sure if im doing it right, i have.
var enemy : GameObject; function start(){ while(true){ Instantiate(enemy,transform.position,transform.rotation); yield WaitForSeconds(1.5); } }
There are a couple of problems with your script. First "Start" function must start with a capital letter. Next, you never return from Start(). Here is an alternative:
#pragma strict
var enemy : GameObject;
function Start()
{
InvokeRepeating("Spawn", 0.0, 1.5);
}
function Spawn()
{
Instantiate(enemy,transform.position,transform.rotation);
}
Thanks heaps. I'm really new to this and my internet is really bad, so i cant look up video tutorials. I cant find a site of good text ones either.
