Instantiating Prefab with its colour set by an int, but its previous value is used?

This is hard to explain, but: my game has a special stage like a clay pigeon shoot. You take one shot at a time and score according to the colour of the enemy target hit. No problems here - but - I've scripted a little 'trophy shelf' so that as you hit the targets, it instantiates 40 pixel-sized versions (separate prefabs BTW) under your score.

Code (CSharp):

1.     void TrophyShelf ()
2.     {  
3.         GameObject trophyShelf = Instantiate (EnemyIcon, new Vector3 (tad, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
4.         EnemyIcon.GetComponent<Image>().color = enemycolors [(newScoreValue)];
5.         trophyShelf.transform.SetParent (trophyShelfParent.transform, false);
6.         tad = tad + 50;
7.     }

Problem is: when you hit the first target a 'zero-coloured' trophy appears, when you hit the second one, the first one appears, third one = second one, and so on. I put a text field updated in Update in the game so I could watch a live view of the newScoreValue variable; it shows it is updating with the new score value immediately.

The TrophyShelf () function is run after each shot - it runs 'on time'. All else works fine and no errors in the console.

Is the answer printed on the end of my nose?

 

Yep. On line 4 you're changing the color of the prefab (EnemyIcon), not the color of the new instance (trophyShelf).

 

Oh well yes, I mean, I knew that. The OP was a mis-paste, what I meant to ask was, what Time.deltaTime is it? I've got some lights baking and I don't want them to be overly compressed.

I think if it hadn't instantiated anything I would have worked it out! Thanks again. You should get paid for this forum, Joe. I may have to hire you myself...
