Making each enemy unique

I spent a whole day making some code to setup my battles and use stats for the player and the enemy. It works great and my game 's combat is now working. My problem is this, the script that runs my battle scene called, "battle system" asks for a prefab for each character that will appear on screen, and then I have to manually put in the numbers for each character. I want the player to walk into an enemy in an overworld which will switch the scene to the "Battle System". Should I make multiple prefabs and find a way to get my battle system code to be able to read the prefab on the fly or should I make multiple copies of the battle system script. That way it will house each unique prefab.

 

could you reference your code?

If you want the game to switch over to the battlefeild when you touch a player you would do something like the following:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.SceneManagment;
3.  
4. public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.  
7.     string battleField = "battle system";
8.  
9.     private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
10.     {
11.         if (collision.collider.CompareTag("enemy"))
12.         {
13.             SceneManager.LoadScene(battleField);
14.         }
15.     }
16. }

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using System.Diagnostics;
4. using System.Globalization;
5. using System.Threading;
6. using UnityEngine;
7. using UnityEngine.UI;
8.  
9. public enum BattleState { START, WON, LOST }
10.

My issue is not spawning. This code requires that I select a single prefab and that's the prefab that will be pulled in Unity no matter what. I want this code to pull multiple prefabs.

 

I don't really understand your question, to be honest. But if you want your script to reference a variable number of prefabs, you can make your field an array

public GameObject[] enemyPrefabs;

.
If you want the enemies that are spawned to depend on the entity you encounter on the world map, then probably those entities on the world map should have a script that holds this array. They could then pass it to the BattleSystem when the battle starts.

 

You could pull a random one with

Code (CSharp):

1. Instantiate(enemyPrefabs[Random.Range(0,enemyPrefabs.Length)], spawnPoint.position, Quaternian.identity);

 

Thank you so much guys I just needed to turn the game object to an array!

 

@AyeJayy if you wanted to ever remove a certain item from the list you would want to turn it into a List<T>.

Code (CSharp):

1. public List<GameObject> enemyPrefabs;
2.  
3. void Start(){
4.     enemyPrefabs.Remove(enemyPrefabs.IndexOf(ObjectToRemove));
5. }
