instantiating vertically
Im making a platformer and made 14 prefabs, each is made of game objects with a collider and trigger attached to them, my player jumps up on platforms, i want to instantiate those 14 prefabs vertically, one after another prefab. I thought of attaching a trigger to the camera that checks if there are any platforms in the area the trigger will cover, if not instantiate. anyone can help? give me any ideas??
Put a trigger on each platform so each time your player jumps onto a platform the next on is instantiated
Better yet put your 14 prefabs into an array and then pick on randomly. That way no two play-throughs of your game would be the same
:)
Or make them instantiate by using a yield WaitForSeconds statement so a new prefab appears every few seconds.
Or even just keep track of the players position on the Y axis and instantiate a new prefab as the player moves upwards.

Still fairly new to this myself but something along the lines of-
if(transorm.position.y >=10)
{
Instantiate(yourPreFab, transform.position.y+10, transform.rotation);
}
Then do additional if >= for 20, 30 and so on...
There is probably a way to do that programmatically in a single if statement, but like I said I'm still quite new to this myself.
arg, could be problematic since each prefab is different size tho. I dont want there to be gaps between prefabs or it wont be playable, and also dont want them to generate one on another if the distance is too short... I have no ideas tho :/
I guess you want some kind of pooling at work. Instantiate Object is player is in range? There are alot of ways to do that. I suggest Instantiate all Objects at start and display when they are required. For the display you can create a JSON file or something to store x,y of platforms in your level. Then check player y and load platforms which are near to player you can take a constant value to subtract and add to player y to get the list of platforms needs to created. But if you want it to precise you can get on start Camera World Top and Camera World Bottom (http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera.ViewportToWorldPoint.html). Then Add/Subtract that from player y.
