Instantiate, Prefabs, Classes
I'm trying to do some basic OOP, I'm just not sure how I'm supposed to do it.
In main.js I want to make an array of Tile
Tile is a prefab, but should also be its own javascript class with it's own methods and properties and instantiated game object.
What type of script do I need to attach to the Tile prefab to give it methods like test. And how should I instantiate each Tile in its constructor? I want to do something like this (none of this works right now):
private var tiles:Tile[,];
for(var x=0;x<width;x++) {
for(var z=0;z<width;z++) {
var tile:Tile = new Tile(x, z);
tiles[x,z] = tile;
tile.test(); // each tile should have this method which just does Debug.Log('test')
}
}
So, I finally came up with an alright solution to this, after looking up a million things. This is way more complicated than it should be.
public static Tile Instance (int something) {
GameObject go = (GameObject)Instantiate(Resources.Load("Tile"));
Tile instance = go.GetComponent<Tile>();
instance.something = something;
return instance;
}
Now I can just do this wherever
Tile tile = Tile.Instance(5);
tile.test();
Trying to do this stuff in the constructor doesn't work.
You are trying to create a MonoBehaviour using the 'new' keyword. This is not allowed.
So I had to make my own arbitrary static Instance method. I have to be missing something, this seems like a total hack.
