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

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.     }

there you go

 

I’m honestly stumped. I use that update method for a lot of my functions and have never had an issue. Especially anything being removed from the component... is your cylinder object made into a prefab? And then dropped into the script? I’m assuming yes but I am dumb founded right now

 

Is there a space between SpawnPoint and on lines 51, and 52?

I’m not sure if that would cause errors like that but if so remove the space and Try it

 

oh my bad... the cylinder isnt a prefab...let me make one..be right back

 

its now spawning but making multiple copies instead of maintaining one clone
below is the log

 

Okay that error log means is trying To delete the prefab now. So make sure there is no instance of the prefab in the scene and that the prefab is set into the player input on the script

 

oh okay. i did that before those logs as well,what might i be missing?

 

Try this to avoid that error

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. newPlayer = Instantiate(player, SpawnPoint[S].position, SpawnPoint[S].rotation);
4.    
5.  
6.  

 

code so far

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(player, SpawnPoint[S].position, SpawnPoint[S].rotation);
51.         }
52.  
53.        
54.     }

still have this error


but spawning is taking place

 

Hmm that should be setting newPlayer as the clone so it would be able to be destroyed.

In function SpawnPlayer(GameObject newPlayer)

remove Gameobject newPlayer and inside the function, before the first if statement

add

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. Gameobject newPlayer;
4.  
5.  

and on line 27 remove “player”

so that its only SpawnPlayer();

 

done... an error below

 

done...an error below

 

GameObject newPlayer = new GameObject();

 

cool

 

ran the code...multiple clones in the scene, the errors are all gone though

 

Okay just remove what you just added but instead at the beginning of your script just make

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public GameObject newPlayer;
3.  

 

d

done

 

what will go in that exposed variable?

 

Just leave it blank. When the player spawns it should end up being the clone that fills it

 

cool.. let try and run it

 

ur the man Boo-Let....RESULT!!!!

 

Lol good! Sorry for the long run around. I usually implement it differently and that method is different than the approach here so I was having to remember the order of things... plus driving lol makes coding on a phone difficult

 

except button one keeps spawning in empty space...any way to correct that?

 

lol...no worries. i take the time to study the code. i was getting worried u were tiring...i need the code for a scene am making where the player will spawn at specific points like fast travel to aid scene exploration

 

this what i mean by spawning in space

 

Yeah there’sa way to fix it I was going to wait until the main issue was working.

so a really quick fix is to change

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. S = I;
3.  

to

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. S = I + 1;
3.  

 

cool... let me try that...

 

Isn’t that empty space the location of the parent object holding your spawn points?

 

Boo-Let ur the Man!!! All the buttons are working... cant thank you enough... do u have a channeli can subscribe to or a patron i can join lol...u've helped me a tonne

 

lol no I don’t but feel free to message me on here anytime. If I know how to do what you need I’ll be glad to help out. And it won’t take this long again! Maybe next time I’ll be at a computer lol

 

lol... thanks again. i'll certainly call i really appreciate u taking the time. will certainly be getting in touch when i get stuck...hopefully someday soon with ur grit i can to be as good...

 

by the way i dont car how long it takes cause the reward out ways the hustle...hehehehehe...next time less keep texting and driving to a minimum...

 

Haha I’ll keep that in mind!! Anytime buddy!!

 

thanks again...
