Question by Party Boy · Jan 03, 2014 at 01:19 AM · cameraobjectbulletshootpattern

Object pool shooting not working

Hey there. So I'm trying out some software patterns in Unity and I'm currently trying to implement Object Pools. I have a class called FirstPersonController that handles all of the movement and camera movement, then I have an ObjectPool class and finally a Projectile class. The Projectile is a sphere game object I created. I basically want the sphere tied to where the camera is looking, but right now the sphere keeps on spawning in the center of the map. Not sure how to fix it. I'll post the classes below because I'm not sure if the error resides in Projectile class or the ObjectPool class.

I'm assuming its the Projectile as that is the sphere itself and it will be something to do with the position but not sure how to tie it to the camera. Thanks for any help.

Projectile class:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Projectile : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public float life = 2.0f;
     public float speed = 10.0f;
     private float timeToDie = 0.0f;
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () 
     {
         CountDown ();
         AutoMove ();
     }
 
     public void Activated()
     {
         timeToDie = Time.time + life;
         transform.position = Vector3.zero;
     }
 
     private void Deactivate()
     {
         this.gameObject.SetActive (false);
     }
 
     private void CountDown()
     {
         if(timeToDie < Time.time)    
             Deactivate();
     }
 
     private void AutoMove()
     {
         Vector3 velocity = speed * Time.deltaTime * transform.forward;
         transform.Translate (velocity);
     }
 }
 

ObjectPool Class:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class ObjectPool : MonoBehaviour {
 
     GameObject[] projectiles = null;
     public int numberOfProjectilesToCreate = 0;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         projectiles = new GameObject[numberOfProjectilesToCreate];
         InstantiateProjectiles();
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () 
     {
         if(Input.GetMouseButton(0))
         {
             ActivateProjectile();
         }
     }
 
     private void InstantiateProjectiles()
     {
         for (int i = 0; i < numberOfProjectilesToCreate; i++) 
         {
             projectiles[i] = Instantiate(Resources.Load("Prefabs/prefab_projectile")) as GameObject;
             projectiles[i].SetActive(false);
         }
     }
 
     private void ActivateProjectile()
     {
         for (int i = 0; i < numberOfProjectilesToCreate; i++) 
         {
             if(projectiles[i].activeSelf == false)
             {
 
 
                 projectiles[i].SetActive(true);
                 projectiles[i].GetComponent<Projectile>().Activated();
             }
         }
     }
 }
