When cloning, how do you make your clones keep the original properties?
Hello,
I am trying to clone an object, and I want the clone to have the same velocity as the original object, but every time I try, the clone is not keeping the original velocity. How can I solve this?
Thank you for your responses!
Have you considered attaching a script directly to the mouse object's prefab which sets is velocity as soon as its spawned?
private Rigidbody rb; // Reference to the rigidbody void Start () { rb = GetComponent <Rigidbody> (); // Sets up the rigidbody reference rb.velocity = new Vector3 (0f, 10f, 0f); // Sets the objects velocity on creation } }
The alternative is to make sure you get the rigidbody component on every object you spawn.
Add
tempRigidbody = clone.GetComponent <Rigidbody>(); tempRigidbody.velocity = new Vector3 (0, 10, 0);
into your instantiate function and it should work.
You are a life saver! I followed your first method and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much! Can't tell you how many days I've been stuck on this bug.
Instantiate copies what it copies, and you can't change that. Pretty much, the stuff you can't see in the Inspector isn't copied by Instantiate -- dynamic physics settings and private script variables.
But, you can easily just copy over the values yourself, after the Instantiate.
I see. I made a script for the transform to move at a certain velocity, and the velocity is a public variable. But even when I tried to instantiate it, the clones won't carry over that velocity. $$anonymous$$aybe I'm doing something wrong.
So I did this ins$$anonymous$$d(which still doesn't work):
Rigidbody2D clone = Instantiate(mouse, spawnPoint.position, Quaternion.identity) as Rigidbody2D;
clone.velocity = new Vector3 (0, -1,0);
Do you have any idea why it's not working? Thank you again!
Sounds like you just need more practice program$$anonymous$$g. Clearly, setting velocity to -1 Y won't copy from the original (unless the original was also going at -1 Y.) And public variables holding the velocity are just just variables -- they aren't the actual velocity.
