Question by BearGamer · Jan 21, 2015 at 02:15 PM · c#prefabpositionupdatemetaio

How I can update prefab properties using c#

Hi, I need to update prefab's position trough script , I need to change the prefab's position properties not the position of a prefab's instance.

in the following rows that's what I want to do:

  • connect to sql db or XML and get my position value (x,y,z)

  • then use this values to update the prefab position --->> THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR!!

  • instantiate my prefab with new position.

I'm looking for a solution to update dinamically the prefab position for an AR application. Metaio SDk ovverride the position of a 3d object so trough scripting I can't update my gameObject position , I tried to update the position of my prefab and then Apply changes to my prefab and it works...so if someone know how to update prefab trough c# can solve my problem...

thanks in advance!

 instantiate my prefab with new position.


Here's some pseudocode:

 Vector3 GetPosition(var[] parameters){
 //return XML position
 }
 
 Update(){
 Instantiate( prefab, GetPosition(parameters), prefab.transfrom.rotation );
 }


You do not need to update your prefab's position, you need to modify where it's spawned. http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html
