How do I respawn a gameobject after time
Hi all,
I'm having difficulty respawning my gameobject after a given time and I'm just looking for some pointers/help if possible.
It's actually a node (ore) and the stages are:
initial node (Initial GameObject shows) - User actions Active node hides Depleted (Separate GameObject shows) Wait X seconds Depleted node is destroyed and the initial GameObject respawns (with reset functionality if possible)
public void MineResource()
{
if (resourcesRemaining == 0)
{
Debug.Log("Hiding original");
gameObject.SetActive(false);
Debug.Log("Instantiating Depleted object");
GameObject depletedObject = Instantiate(depletedPrefab, transform.position, depletedPrefab.transform.rotation);
depletedObject.SetActive(true); // haven't checked this is required after instantiate
// At this point, the original is hidden and the second is showing
// here I'm trying to wait 5 seconds and respawn the original.
StartCoroutine(ResetMineable(gameObject, depletedObject, 5f));
}
}
public IEnumerator ResetMineable(GameObject gameObject, GameObject depletedObject, float duration)
{
// I only want to hide the depletedObject after the wait time
// as well as respawn the original gameObject
Debug.Log("Hiding Depleted");
depletedObject.SetActive(false);
Debug.Log("Trying to instantiate original");
gameObject.SetActive(true);
Debug.Log("Waiting duration");
yield return new WaitForSeconds(duration);
}
Hopefully that makes sense with what I'm trying to do but please ask if not.
Basically, I've shuffled it around and tried different things but to no avail - In the Coroutine I ideally want to wait the timer out before I remove the depletedObject and set the original to active again.
As a side note, I've also tried various ways using the below to just hide it, but you can still action it as if it's there.
gameObject.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().enabled = false;
The script is attached to the original gameObject.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
EDIT:
I have gotten this to work now using the code below:
public void MineResource()
{
if (resourcesRemaining == 0)
{
gameObject.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().enabled = false;
// Script that allows it to be actionable
gameObject.GetComponent<Mineable>().enabled = false;
Debug.Log("Instantiating Depleted");
GameObject depletedObject = Instantiate(depletedPrefab, transform.position, depletedPrefab.transform.rotation);
StartCoroutine(ResetMineable(depletedObject, gameObject, 5f));
//onEmpty?.Invoke();
}
}
public IEnumerator ResetMineable(GameObject depletedObject, GameObject originalObject, float duration)
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(duration);
Debug.Log("Remove Depleted");
Destroy(depletedObject);
Debug.Log("Show original and reset");
originalObject.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().enabled = true;
originalObject.GetComponent<Mineable>().enabled = true;
Mineable component = originalObject.GetComponent<Mineable>();
component.resourcesRemaining = 5;
}
Can ignore the variable na$$anonymous$$g as I was trying everything so need a little tidy but it works!
Now my question is slightly different - Is this the best way of doing this?
This is purely a test/mess around project away from my day to day non game related development but always appreciate improvement and the opportunity to learn.
Thanks.
