Question by G_Sacristan · Aug 18, 2011 at 09:14 PM · gameobjectinstantiatedestroyactivecopy

Instantiate problem

Hi!

Ive got a problem...

I needed to instantiate a copy of gameObjects and after that in copy Destroy all inactive gameObject children, BUT as Instantiating makes all children active i cant do it...

Yes.. I could Destroy original gameObjects inactive children, but i cant do it, because they are needed...

Can someone help me out - how to make sure, that children which are inactive in original gameObject will be Destroyed in copy of original gameObject keeping original gameObjects inactive children?

Function where part of it i have tried to do it until i realized that after Instantiating all children gameObject become active.

 function SaveAvatar(p: GameObject)
 {
     var copy: GameObject;
     copy=Instantiate(p);
     copy.name="SavedAvatar";
     copy.transform.parent=player.transform;
     copy.transform.position=Vector3.zero;
 
     for(var child2: Component in copy.GetComponentsInChildren(Component))
     {    
         if(!child2.gameObject.active) Destroy(child2.gameObject);
     }
 }

Can the original object be a Prefab?

It seems that all prefabs are stores as inactive and upon instantiation their instances are set to active recursively, so you have to do this before/when making the prefab, it can't be done at run-time. You could use tags or components to identify the children you want removed though.
