Small Gap between endless cubes
Hi,
I create cubes that are moving right. When the first cube moved his whole x-scale I create another one and so on. Inbetween the cubes is a gap and I can't figure out why. Here's a Video:
Here is the code (it's rather simple):
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class MoverScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject cube;
public float speed = 1.0f;
private List<GameObject> objects = new List<GameObject>();
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
CreateNewObject();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
bool createNew = false;
foreach (var obj in objects)
{
obj.transform.position += Vector3.right * Time.deltaTime * speed;
//Cube reaches "end" => create a new one and never do it again for this cube.
//The tag is used to flag this cube as "handled"
if(obj.tag != "done" && obj.transform.position.x > obj.transform.localScale.x)
{
createNew = true;
obj.tag = "done";
}
}
if(createNew)
CreateNewObject();
}
void CreateNewObject()
{
GameObject instance = Instantiate(cube, new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity);
objects.Add(instance);
}
}

Okay I found the problem:
The new object has to be instantiated at it's neighbors x-position + Scale. This seems to work perfect, regardless of the speed. Makes sense since:
The check if the cube is > 1 depends on the game's FPS. Sometimes the cube is at 1.2f and creating a new cube at this moment, will create a gap.
