Instantiate gameobject and add to array (C#)
Hi fellow Uniters, i've run into a little problem here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to instantiate an enemy combatant and have it fill in the enemyCount[] array. Here's my code so far:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject enemyCombatant;
public int[] enemyCount;
public int maxEnemies = 5;
void Start ()
{
enemyCount = new int[maxEnemies];
}
void FixedUpdate ()
{
for (int numberOfEnemies = 0; numberOfEnemies <= maxEnemies; numberOfEnemies++)
{
GameObject enemyCombatantClone = Instantiate(enemyCombatant, new Vector3(40, 2, 0), Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
}
}
}
Instantiating in FixedUpdate is not a good idea, especially if your instantiated objects have some colliders or other physics-related components.
On top of that, you will continue to instantiate maxEnemies instances each fixed frame. Don't think this is what you want.
In the loop should be
enemyCount[i] = Instantiate (enemyCombatant, new Vector3(40, 2, 0), Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
Just use the standard "i" for the loop index name; "numberOfEnemies" is not a good name since you're not actually increasing the number of enemies. The loop should be "i < maxEnemies", not
Hi Eric5h5, thanks for the quick reply. Please excuse my late reply. Thanks for the explanation.
did u already declare enemyCount[i] at beginning as GameObject[] enemyCount = new GameObject(); ?
