repeat object spawn
How do I make a prefab spawn repeatedly? Here's my prefab spawn script
var evilsphere : Transform;
function Start () {
yield WaitForSeconds (1); Instantiate (evilsphere, transform.position, transform.rotation);
}
Use InvokeRepeating:
var evilsphere : Transform; var waitTime = 1.0;
function Start () { InvokeRepeating ("Spawn", waitTime, waitTime); }
function Spawn () { Instantiate (evilsphere, transform.position, transform.rotation); }
The idea to use yield is correct. But you will have to use this in a Coroutine to work.
var evilsphere : GameObject;
function Start () { SpawnRoutine(); }
function SpawnRoutine () { while(true) { Instantiate (evilsphere, transform.position, transform.rotation); yield WaitForSeconds(1); } }
That doesn't make the prefab spawn repeatedly, and you can just use Start for coroutines anyway, no need for a separate function.
Nice example; how can one check if the previous prefab is dead so that the following one won't spawn on top? you need to check the health of that prefab accessing it's script variable somehow?
Yes, just keep a reference to the instantiated Object. You can use it to access the any variable of the attached scripts.
