Random instantiation endlessly?
I have gameobjects in a list, from which I want to instantiate. However I'm not sure how to actually instantiate a random item from the list, and how to get this thing to run endlessly, so that the game produces a continuous stream of random instantiations (at a desired rate).
Something like this should do the trick.
public List<GameObjects> objectsToSpawn;
public float timeBetweenSpawns;
public Transform spawnPoint;
private float timer;
void Start(){
timer = timeBetweenSpawns;
}
void Update(){
timer -= Time.deltaTime;
if(timer < 0){
timer = timeBetweenSpawns;
SetNewSpawnPosition();
int spawnIndex = Random.Range(0, objectsToSpawn.Count);
Instantiate(objectsToSpawn[spawnIndex], spawnPoint.position, spawnPoint.Rotation);
}
}
void SetNewSpawnPosition(){
//Change the location of the spawn point however you want
}
If you wanted to be super efficient here you could look into object pooling which is a great optimization for spawning objects like this, but this should serve as a good prototype script.
