How to obtain this prefab name in this circunstances
The prefab in question is instanciated on an object who is created at runtime, inside a variable in a component (script) called PrefabAdapt which is also set at runtime, it is also a children from the GameObject with the component attached and thats also setted at runtime.
This prefab is called Trolords(Clone) and the variable is a GameObject variable type.
This is a picture who show you the hierarchys and components
How can i obtain the prefab from the tile in order to take him's name to add it to a save file?
I already try:
GetComponent().thisPrefab.name //Doesn't work
GetComponent().thisPrefab.gameObject.name //Doesn't work
GetComponent().thisPrefab.gameObject.transform.name //Doesn't work
GetComponent().thisPrefab.transform.name //Doesn't work
GetComponent().thisPrefab.ToString() //Doesn't work
GetComponent().thisPrefab //Doesn't work
foreach (Transform child in world1.TilesGO[0,0].transform)
{
Debug.Log(child.name); // YES USE .name AS IS DON"T USE thisPrefabName
}
Additional info
Aparently, for some reason, the object return null when i request it from the WorldController start() function to use it, but the thing is, as you can see in the image, the object still seems to exist in that variable which, by some reason, is returning null in the WorldController start() function.
If you want my guess, thanks to the coment of one user, i'm guessing than the problem is than, the PrefabAdapt is somewhat not ready to load the components at the moment the WorldControler start() function is working, so a good solution would be to make wait the parent function of the addition of the PrefabAdapt method if possible.
Did you know how to make a function wait for another function before start to run?
here is the code of the component, any help would be much apreciated, thanks in advance:

This is the place where i'm calling the methods:
WorldController Class: (the one who calls the construction of the world, who owns the tiles who have the PrefabAdapt script like component)
void OnEnable()
{
if (Instance != null)
{
Debug.Log("There should never be two world controllers, just can be one!");
}
Instance = this;
}
void Start()
{
//Create a world with empty tiles
World world1 = World.CreateWorld(32, "some3DWorld", true, true); //The bool controls between 2D and 3D
World world2 = World.CreateWorld(32, "some2DWorld", false, false);
world2.Wrld_GO.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(0f, -36f, -42f);
world2.Wrld_GO.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(-90f, 0f, 0f));
world2.Wrld_GO.transform.SetGlobalScale(new Vector3(17f, 17f, 1f));
Camera.main.transform.position = new Vector3(17f, 552f, -107f);
//Camera.main.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(35.68f,0f,0f));
Camera.main.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(90f, 0f, 0f));
Camera.main.transform.SetGlobalScale(world1.Wrld_GO.transform.lossyScale);
/*Debug.Log(world2.Tiles[0, 0].PrefabSprite);
Debug.Log(world1.TilesGO[0, 0].GetComponent<PrefabAdapt>().tile.PrefabSprite);
Debug.Log(world1.TilesGO[0, 0].GetComponent<Instance>().Tile.PrefabSprite);*/
}
void Update ()
{
//Debug.Log(this.worlds["some3DWorld"].Tiles[0, 0].PrefabSprite);
Debug.Log(this.worlds["some3DWorld"].TilesGO[0, 0].GetComponent<Instance>().Tile.PrefabSprite);
}
If i call it in the Update() method, it works perfectly, the problem is i wanna call it in th Start() method of the WorldController object, is there any way to do that?
Because otherwise the object shows null, and the Tile show itself with no childs (in code lvl at least).
So i think the solution would be make the construction of the world wait for the PrefabAdapt, but i don't know exactly how to do that.
Is there any way to do than a function would be waited before continue the work of the original function?
Thanks in advance
There are two ways to go about this, and read both and the last segment, please. The first is the way you tried:
// If its run from a script attached to the tile
GetComponent<PrefabAdapt> ().thisPrefabname;
// Or if its run from somewhere else
Tile_0_0.GetComponent<PrefabAdapt> ().thisPrefabname;
if you run it from a script that is attached to the Tile_0_0 game object it should work. If it doesn't you can also try the following method:
foreach (Transform child in transform) {
nameIWant = child.name; // YES USE .name AS IS DON"T USE thisPrefabName
}
Finally looking at your code you convert it to a 3D object in the Start function. This might cause a problem because the Start function can be run before the object is assigned to the parent. (You did say that it was instantiated). To test this create a button that calls the convert function when clicked. If it works then that is the issue.
I'm gonna test it out when i finish work, however if that was the case, a problem of not yet assigned as you suggest with the button stuff, what would be the solution?, did you see any solution internaly for this code particle?, Thanks for the suggestion.
Indeed Cornelis-de-Jager, that was the issue, any idea how to fix it?
