Spawning on Trigger
Hey Everyone
What I need is help to spawn a gameobject once a trigger is hit and I want to spawn in a forward motion.
Here the code that I attached to an empty game object.
var batPrefab:Transform; // Insert bat prefab
var batAmount:int = 20; // Number of bats to be spawned instantly
function OnTriggerEnter (Bats : Collider) {
for(i=0;i
Doesn't look like it posted my answer to your question.
I maybe wrong but I don't think you are saying where you want to instantiate it yet.
I think you want something along the lines of:
var obj = Instantiate(batPrefab,startingPosition.position, Quaternion.identity); obj.rigidbody.addForce(forward*speedToGoForward);
hope that helps

Thanks but I'm getting this error with that Field'System.Int32.position' not found.
and here is the code with your revision.
var batPrefab:Transform; // Insert bat prefab var batAmount:int = 20; // Number of bats to be spawned instantly var startingPositionY : int = 25; var speedToGoForward : int = 10; var forward: int = 10 ;
function OnTriggerEnter (Bats : Collider) { Debug.Log("hitTrigger"); for(i=0;i
Have you tried OnTriggerStay(Bats:Collider) This one will be called every frame. If you want it to be called only once, you could add a bool or something.

I am not sure what your question is? That code to me look like it should work. But i would personally use GameObject for the batPrefab instead of a Transform.
I want the bats to move in a forward motion right now when I hit the trigger they are scattrered
I think that should be the bat script to handle this in his Start() function. Apply an initial velocity to them, or update them forward every frame in their Update()
I may be wrong, but you aren't telling it where to instantiate...
would it not be:
var obj = Instantiate(batPrefab, startingPosition,Quaternion.identity); obj.rigidbody.addForce(forward*speedToGoForward);
//Where starting position is the position of the trigger and speedToGoForward is how fast the initial value is when it is instantiated
Hope it helps
