Instantiate Random Help
My script is coming up with a error of Instantiate Prefab is Null, what am I doing wrong? I am trying to create a random game object.`
public GameObject Frigate1;
public GameObject Frigate2;
public GameObject Frigate3;
public GameObject Frigate4;
public GameObject Frigate5;
string FrigateSelector;
void Awake()
{
int randomNumber = Random.Range (1, 5);
Debug.Log (randomNumber);
FrigateSelector = "Frigate" + randomNumber;
Debug.Log (FrigateSelector);
Instantiate (GameObject.Find("FrigateSelector"), Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);
}`

Since FrigateSelector is a string, the quotation marks are not necessary.
This could be done much easier with the use of an array.
Try this:
public GameObject [] Frigate;
void Awake()
{
Instantiate (Frigate[Random.Range (0, 4)], Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);
}`
do you have a good tutorial on using array, I do not know how to use that.
public GameObject Frigate1;
public GameObject Frigate2;
public GameObject Frigate3;
public GameObject Frigate4;
public GameObject Frigate5;
string FrigateSelector;
void Awake()
{
int randomNumber = Random.Range (1, 5);
Debug.Log (randomNumber);
FrigateSelector = "Frigate" + randomNumber.ToString();
Debug.Log (FrigateSelector);
Instantiate (GameObject.Find(FrigateSelector), Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);
}`
If your object is not in the scene, put Your prefabs in a 'Resources' folder and then use this script:
public GameObject Frigate1;
public GameObject Frigate2;
public GameObject Frigate3;
public GameObject Frigate4;
public GameObject Frigate5;
string FrigateSelector;
void Awake()
{
int randomNumber = Random.Range (1, 5);
Debug.Log (randomNumber);
FrigateSelector = "Frigate" + randomNumber;
Debug.Log (FrigateSelector);
Instantiate (Resources.Load(FrigateSelector), Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);
}`
