How do i spawn a new GameObject(Player) while deleting the old one to maintain on one clonene at a

we have the following error

 

I had to edit the above post... I placed something on wrong position but NOW it’s right. So redo the above line..

my mad man I’m really not focusing as I’m doing this lol

 

its

its all good...am learning...

 

lol yeah but if I was actually sitting down and thinking I would of had it right from the get go. Where I’m constantly looking up and down to pay attention to the road I’m losing thought with the code

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public Transform[] SpawnPoint;
2.  
3.     public Button[] Spawner;
4.  
5.     public GameObject Spawners;
6.  
7.     public GameObject player;
8.  
9.     void SetSpawnInfo()
10.     {
11.         SpawnPoint = this.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
12.         Spawner = Spawners.GetComponentsInChildren<Button>();
13.     }
14.  
15.     void ButtonPress()
16.     {
17.         SpawnPlayer(player);
18.     }
19.  
20.     public void SpawnPlayer(GameObject newPlayer)
21.     {
22.         for (int I = 0; I < Spawner.Length; I++)
23.         {
24.             if (RectTransformUtility.RectangleContainsScreenPoint(Spawner[I].transform as RectTransform, Input.mousePosition,
25.                 Camera.main))
26.             {
27.                 if (newPlayer != null)
28.                 {
29.                     Destroy(newPlayer);
30.                 }
31.  
32.                 newPlayer = player;
33.  
34.                 if (newPlayer != null)
35.                 {
36.                     newPlayer = Instantiate(newPlayer, SpawnPoint[I].position, SpawnPoint[I].rotation);
37.                     Debug.Log(I);
38.                     Debug.Log(Spawner);
39.                 }
40.             }
41.  
42.  
43.         }
44.     }

 

this is the code so far...unless i didnt edit it right...we have the same Log

 

actually worried about u driving and doing this lol...be careful...lol

 

Create this

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. void Update()
3. {
4.       if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
5.             {
6.                //place here
7.             }
8. }
9.  
10.  

and put

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. for (int I = 0; I < Spawner.Length; I++)
3. {
4. if (RectTransformUtility.RectangleContainsScreenPoint(Spawner[I].transform as RectTransform, Input.mousePosition, Camera.main)
5. {
6.  
7. Debug.log(Spawner[I]);
8.  
9. }
10. }
11.  
12.  

Where it says “place here”.

before running, remove the functions from your button set up so that no script is attached to the button

Attach the script to your spawn manager game object

 

Also

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. void OnEnable()
4. {
5.       SetSpawnInfo()
6. }
7.  

place this above SetSpawnInfo

 

COOL

minor errors..


code so far

Code (CSharp):

1. public Transform[] SpawnPoint;
2.  
3.     public Button[] Spawner;
4.  
5.     public GameObject Spawners;
6.  
7.     public GameObject player;
8.  
9.     void Update()
10.     {
11.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
12.         {
13.             //place here
14.             if (RectTransformUtility.RectangleContainsScreenPoint(Spawner[I].transform as RectTransform, Input.mousePosition,
15.                 Camera.main)
16.             {
17.                 Debug.Log(Spawner[I]);
18.             }
19.         }
20.     }
21.  
22.     void SetSpawnInfo()
23.     {
24.         SpawnPoint = this.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
25.         Spawner = Spawners.GetComponentsInChildren<Button>();
26.     }
27.  
28.     void ButtonPress()
29.     {
30.         SpawnPlayer(player);
31.     }
32.  
33.     public void SpawnPlayer(GameObject newPlayer)
34.     {
35.         for (int I = 0; I < Spawner.Length; I++)
36.         {
37.             if (RectTransformUtility.RectangleContainsScreenPoint(Spawner[I].transform as RectTransform, Input.mousePosition,
38.                 Camera.main))
39.             {
40.                 if (newPlayer != null)
41.                 {
42.                     Destroy(newPlayer);
43.                 }
44.  
45.                 newPlayer = player;
46.  
47.                 if (newPlayer != null)
48.                 {
49.                     newPlayer = Instantiate(newPlayer, SpawnPoint[I].position, SpawnPoint[I].rotation);
50.                     Debug.Log(I);
51.                     Debug.Log(Spawner);
52.                 }
53.             }
54.  
55.  
56.         }
57.     }
58. }

 

You missed a section. Look above and you’ll see the for loop in update. Paste it into script like above

 

cool..i knew i got confused somewhere

 

I've done the above...what's next. play the scene?

 

All errors gone?

 

Yes... all gone

 

Now make sure script is attached to your Spawnmanager gameobject and hit play and click a button and see if it logs a different number in the console Also make sure to add this above Update()

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. void Awake()
3. {
4.       SetSpawnInfo();
5. }

 

cool...on it

 

result...here's the latest log as i press each button respectively

 

Okay now make a

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public int S;
3.  

now in update, instead of debug.log. Replace it with

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. S = I;
3. SpawnPlayer(player);
4.  

And then change spawnplayer to

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public void SpawnPlayer(GmaeObject newPlayer)
3. {
4.       if (newPlayer != null)
5.       {
6.           Destroy(newPlayer);
7.       }
8.  
9.       newPlayer = player;
10.  
11.       if (newPlayer != null)
12.       {
13.             newPlayer = Instantiate(newPlayer,
14.             SpawnPoint[S].position,
15.             SpawnPoint[S].rotation);
16.        }

 

Cool... On it...

 

Be sure to use updated post.. I had to edit a lot to remove unwanted characters from pasting

 

All done and no errors...

 

Well click play and see if it works lol you don’t need to add anything to button functions either

 

wow...that's cool. let me try it...

 

he

hey. at least there's no errors. the cylinder doesnt appear on the spawnpoint on play after clicking button 1


buttons 2 to 4 the cylinder spawns on the spawn location on playing the scene. the other buttons dont work as desired when u click them as before without stop and playing the scene for each respectively.


below is the scene setup so far


the log so far when i press any button...

and the code so far...

Code (CSharp):

1. public int S;
2.  
3.     public Transform[] SpawnPoint;
4.  
5.     public Button[] Spawner;
6.

24.                 for (int I = 0; I < Spawner.Length; I++)
25.                 {

31.                     }
32.                 }

35.  
36.     void SetSpawnInfo()
37.     {
38.         SpawnPoint = this.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
39.         Spawner = Spawners.GetComponentsInChildren<Button>();
40.     }
41.  
42.     void ButtonPress()
43.     {
44.         SpawnPlayer(player);
45.     }
46.  
47.     public void SpawnPlayer(GameObject newPlayer)
48.     {
49.         if (newPlayer != null)
50.         {
51.             Destroy(newPlayer);

53.  
54.         newPlayer = player;
55.  
56.         if (newPlayer != null)
57.         {
58.             newPlayer = Instantiate(newPlayer,
59.             SpawnPoint[S].position,
60.             SpawnPoint[S].rotation);
61.         }
62.  
63.         for (int I = 0; I < Spawner.Length; I++)
64.         {
65.             if (RectTransformUtility.RectangleContainsScreenPoint(Spawner[I].transform as RectTransform, Input.mousePosition,
66.                 Camera.main))
67.             {
68.                 if (newPlayer != null)
69.                 {
70.                     Destroy(newPlayer);
71.                 }
72.  
73.                 newPlayer = player;
74.  
75.                 if (newPlayer != null)
76.                 {
77.                     newPlayer = Instantiate(newPlayer, SpawnPoint[I].position, SpawnPoint[I].rotation);
78.                     Debug.Log(I);
79.                     Debug.Log(Spawner);
80.                 }
81.             }
82.  
83.  
84.         }
85.     }

maybe am just setting up the scene wrong

 

the nu

the numbers in the public variable int 'S' and changing based on the button press though

 

Oh delete the OnEnable function. I wanted to to use that instead of awake in case you ever set the spawn manager inactive. So delete OnEnable function and in SpawnPlayer function delete lines 63-81 that shouldn’t be there either.

 

Also your spawnpoints array is adding the parents transform so that’s giving you an extra (and off position) spawn point which will throw it off

 

Also you can delete ButtonPress function. That’s no longer needed

 

c

cool...

 

ah i see

 

After making those changes to the functions try it. See if it reacts how it should other than spawning the player one spawn point off

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public int S;
2.  
3.     public Transform[] SpawnPoint;
4.  
5.     public Button[] Spawner;
6.  
7.     public GameObject Spawners;
8.  
9.     public GameObject player;
10.  
11.     void Awake()
12.     {
13.         SetSpawnInfo();
14.     }
15.    
16.     void Update()
17.     {
18.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
19.             {
20.             //place here
21.                 for (int I = 0; I < Spawner.Length; I++)
22.                 {
23.                 if (RectTransformUtility.RectangleContainsScreenPoint(Spawner[I].transform as RectTransform, Input.mousePosition,
24.                     Camera.main))
25.                     {
26.                         S = I;
27.                         SpawnPlayer(player);
28.                     }
29.                 }
30.             }
31.     }
32.  
33.     void SetSpawnInfo()
34.     {
35.         SpawnPoint = this.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
36.         Spawner = Spawners.GetComponentsInChildren<Button>();
37.     }
38.  
39.     public void SpawnPlayer(GameObject newPlayer)
40.     {
41.         if (newPlayer != null)
42.         {
43.             Destroy(newPlayer);
44.         }
45.  
46.         newPlayer = player;
47.  
48.         if (newPlayer != null)
49.         {
50.             newPlayer = Instantiate(newPlayer,
51.             SpawnPoint[S].position,
52.             SpawnPoint[S].rotation);
53.         }
54.  
55.        
56.     }

code so far. same thing as before. only move to the button i press first then it doesnt move at all unless on play i press another button to which it move only the once respectively

 

let rethink this. maybe i can jus move the cylinder instead on spawning. just make it move from spawn point to spawn point adopting the transform position and transform rotation. cause all need is my character to move to a particular location on command.

below is the code snipet i used for player movement but the problem is the player doesnt move to the right location after several location button move request commands. this commands was excecuted on button press. there's about 11 location in my scene the player need to move to on command...

Code (CSharp):

1. public GameObject player;
2.     public GameObject location;
3.          
4.     public void MoveToLocation()
5.     {
6.         player.transform.position = location.transform.position;
7.         player.transform.rotation = location.transform.rotation;
8.     }

 

hey i did but its still only respond to only the first button press after playing the scene

 

So if you click button one, player spawns.. but if you click button 2 or 3 it does nothing unless you exit play mode.. hit play, then click button 3 it’ll spawn player 3?

 

yes...thats what its doing. it only moves to the respective button only when i stop and play the scene if press the other buttons without doing that nothing happens

 

When you try and do it on the scene is the Console displaying any errors

 

there's no errors at all...

 

Are all the OnClick functions removed from every button?

 

yes... all of them

 

Hmm... so when you’re in play mode and you spawn one and then hit another button is “s” value changing?

 

yes the s value us changing...but there's no movement of the cylinder

 

Are the SpawnPoint positions in the array still active when you change?

 

the spawn point are still there though the player varriable is empty after several button presses as seen below

 

Is there only one instance of this script attached to that game object? And isn’t attached to any other? That’s actually really weird.. I’ve never had or seen that happen

 

l

let me check.

 

i

i've checked that the only thing its attached to

 

Post your code again please

 

cool...
