Instantiate issues

I am using Perlin Noise to generate a quasi-random 2D terrain. I am in the very beginning and as of right now if the spot on the map if >= .6 then a wall is created, otherwise ground is created. My problem comes with trying to update the terrain, I can't figure out how to set the tiles parent as it is being Instantiated or how to delete them after the map is updated.

Tile Class:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4.  
5. public class PerlinDisplay : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public Transform chunk;
8.  
9.     public void UpdateTiles(float[,] noiseMap, Transform[] tiles)
10.     {
11.         int width = noiseMap.GetLength(0);
12.         int height = noiseMap.GetLength(1);
13.  
14.         for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
15.         {
16.             for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
17.             {
18.                 if(noiseMap[x, y] >= .6)
19.                 {
20.                     GameObject tileObj = Instantiate(tiles[0], new Vector3(x, y, 0), new Quaternion(0, 0, 0, 0)) as GameObject;
21.                     tileObj.transform.parent = chunk.transform; //doesn't work
22.                 }
23.                 else
24.                 {
25.                     GameObject tileObj = Instantiate(tiles[1], new Vector3(x, y, 0), new Quaternion(0, 0, 0, 0)) as GameObject;
26.                     tileObj.transform.parent = chunk.transform; //doesn't work
27.                 }
28.             }
29.         }
30.     }
31. }
32.  

Generator Class:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class PerlinGenerator : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public MapMods mapModifiers;
7.  
8.     public bool autoUpdate;
9.  
10.     public void GenerateMap()
11.     {
12.         float[,] noiseMap = PerlinValues.GeneratePerlinValues(mapModifiers.width, mapModifiers.height, mapModifiers.scale);
13.  
14.         PerlinDisplay disp = FindObjectOfType<PerlinDisplay>();
15.         disp.UpdateTiles(noiseMap, mapModifiers.tiles);
16.     }
17. }
18.  
19. [System.Serializable]
20. public class MapMods
21. {
22.     public int width;
23.     public int height;
24.     public float scale;
25.  
26.     public Transform[] tiles;
27. }

Noise Generator Class:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public static class PerlinValues
5. {
6.     public static float[,] GeneratePerlinValues(int chunkWidth, int chunkHeight, float scale)
7.     {
8.         float[,] noiseMap = new float[chunkWidth, chunkHeight];
9.  
10.         if (scale <= 0)
11.             scale = .001f;
12.  
13.         for (int y = 0; y < chunkHeight; y++)
14.         {
15.             for (int x = 0; x < chunkWidth; x++)
16.             {
17.                 float sampleX = x / scale;
18.                 float sampleY = y / scale;
19.  
20.                 float perlinNoise = Mathf.PerlinNoise(sampleX, sampleY);
21.                 noiseMap[x, y] = perlinNoise;
22.             }
23.         }
24.  
25.         return noiseMap;
26.     }
27. }

Thank you for reading, have a nice day

 

You can set a parent using 'tileobj.transform.setparent(parent.transform)', parent being another GameObject (such as en empty GameObject)

And if you want a quick "reset" of all the blocks, you can add them into a list, and then "foreach" through it to destroy every item. and then make that list a new list.
(naming scheme is something I use personally, such as 'mass' and 'particle')

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public class Example : MonoBehaviour {
3.     public List<GameObject> mass;
4.     public GameObject parent;
5.     public GameObject tileObj;
6.  
7.     void Start(){
8.         mass = new List<GameObject> ();
9.     }
10.  
11.     public void CreateFloor(){
12.         for (int h = 0; h < 10; h++) {
13.             for (int w = 0; w < 10; w++) {
14.                 GameObject temp = Instantiate (tileObj, new Vector3 (h, 0, w), Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
15.                 temp.transform.SetParent (parent.transform);
16.                 mass.add(temp);
17.             }
18.         }
19.     }
20.  
21.     public void DeleteFloor(){
22.         foreach (GameObject particle in mass) {
23.             Destroy (particle);
24.         }
25.         mass = new List<GameObject> ();
26.     }
27. }

 

Sorry for the late reply but thank you very much
