Generating meshes during run-time: how to call the code to properly save the mesh for viewing

Hi all, that's my first time playing around with mesh generation during runtime. I want to generate a IcoSphere, I have a very basic question it actually.

I found the code to implement that here: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/ProceduralPrimitives

I understand the geometry stuff going on in the code. But I don't know how to exactly "call' the code within my game. It is, the code creates a class. Fine. But how can I use such class in my game code to generate the mesh in a way I can see it, chose its world location, etc. In other words, how can I use that code to properly have my icosphere showing on the screen?

Many thanks!

 

I just notice that I double-posted the question without wanting to. But the forum system does not allow me to fully delete the thread. So, for the sake of organization, please consider only THIS one, not the other. And sorry for the unintentional double-posting.

 

The example's code is a mess. It looks like code from a monobehaviour converted badly into a static class.
Some things to maybe make this work:

Add an argument passing GameObject gameObject.
Change Mesh mesh = filter.mesh at line 2-3 to Mesh mesh = new Mesh ();
Add filter.mesh = mesh; to the end.
Probably add something like this: MeshRenderer renderer = gameObject.AddComponent<Renderer>(); renderer.material = materialhere;

Then you should be able to call it from a script attached to a gameObject within a function like;
void Start () { IcoSphere.Create(gameObject); }

 

Thanks for your reply! By coincidence, that was exactly what I did even before reading your reply, with one or two tinny differences. Your solution is better than mine. Thanks again
