How to reference 2 prefabs that instantiate during start?

Hi;

I have a player prefab and a canvas prefab, how would I add ex. images from canvas prefab to a serialized field on player prefab (btw. I have multiple player prefabs that you can choose from and instantiate them with the help of Player Prefs).
I can not drag and drop it since it is a prefab that is instantiated during play.

Also, how can I do the opposite place player prefab on canvas prefab? I made it like a game object that uses "FindObjectOfType" but I don't think that is the best option. Is that even possible or should I not place canvas a prefab?
Should I use scriptable objects and if so then where?

Thank you for your answer.

 

If you only have only one Canvas for the functionality given, save it in a static public variable in Awake(). Like:

class SomeCanvasInfo: public MonoBehavior

{

 static public SomeCanvasInfo someCanvasInfo; 



void Awake()

{

 someCanvasInfo= this; 

}

}

In your Players, do:

class SomePlayer: public MonoBehavior

{



void Update()

{

if (SomeCanvasInfo.someCanvasInfo != null) 

{

// do something

}

}

This is called a Singleton.

 

Thx, so make a canvas singleton is the best option, in this case, better than use FindObjectOfType?

 

Probably in almost any case. Keep in mind that this will not hinder you to create more canvasses. Just use a custom script as Singleton and operate from it.

 

Thank you very much
