Question How to Set a Variable In an Instantiation

Hi guys!

My question is how to set a variable for every instantiation. I have a script that instantiates blocks that have a certain health value. I want to set the health value in the instantiation. How do I do that?

Thanks

 

Something like this should work:

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject instantiatedObject = Instantiate(prefab, transform.position);
2.     instantiatedObject.GetComponent<MyScriptOnObject>();
3.     instantiatedObject.MyFunctionToSetValues();

Set a local variable and set it equal to the instantiated object. Get the script on your prefab, then call the function you need that sets your value.

 

I like what Corny suggests but I like to stick it all in a factory method in the class, keep it tidy.

Factory Pattern in lieu of AddComponent (for timing and dependency correctness):
