How do I change the transform of a clone object
I'm trying to change the transform of an object I've just instantiated using the following:
public GameObject marker;
public float maxLength;
newVector = Vector2.ClampMagnitude(diffVector, maxLength);
Instantiate(marker, newVector, transform.rotation);
newVector = Vector2.ClampMagnitude(diffVector, maxLength);
marker.gameObject.transform.position = newVector;
Debug.Log("Marker position = " + marker.gameObject.transform.position);
The diffVector is the difference between two objects that I want to track. There is other code around each block above but these are the pertinent parts.
I use the Debug.log to see that the marker.gameObject.position.transform is changing correctly, but the actual game object marker(clone) isn't.
My guess is because its a clone but I don't know how to reference them in the script.
Any help would be appreciated.
Instantiate returns a reference to the clone. You'll need to capture that reference and use it to modify the clone's transform.
You can see example code in the scripting docs for reference:
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
public Rigidbody projectile;
void Update() {
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) {
Rigidbody clone;
clone = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation) as Rigidbody;
clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward * 10);
}
}
}
Thanks, I had looked at that I thought I'd tried it and it didn't work, but I think I had other problems with the code at the time, works fine now.
