spawn 4 prefabs on start

Hi,
I know there are few entries on that topic, but non seems to work for me.

I want all my 4 characters to spawn at game play. Until the moment I:
- defined the variables

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. var girl1 : GameObject;
3. var spawnpoint1: Transform;
4.  

and run under

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. function Start () {
3. Instantiate(girl1, spawnpoint1.position, girl1.rotation);
4. }
5.  

any ideas?
From console:

UnassignedReferenceException: The variable a of NetworkConnection has not been assigned.
You probably need to assign the a variable of the NetworkConnection script in the inspector.
UnityEngine.Transform.get_position () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/runtime/UnityEngineTransform.gen.cs:28)
NetworkConnection.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/NetworkConnection.js:51)[/code]

 

For starters, use [ code] code tags [/code], it makes pasted code a lot easier to read.

That error is clearly unrelated to the code you've posted - there's an undefined variable called "a" in the NetworkConnection.js script at line 51.

 

Thanks, I will do

I remove the "a" variable now. And started again. Defined the variables and use the above order.
But nothings happens.

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. //Variables for spawing prefab
3. var girl1: GameObject;
4.  
5. //Variables for spawnpoints
6. var spawnpoint1: Transform;
7. var spawnpoint2: Transform;
8.  
9.  

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2.  
3. function SpawnPlayersStart()
4.      {
5.       Instantiate(girl1, transform.position, transform.rotation);
6.  
7.      }
8.  

the I tried with

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. function SpawnPlayersStart()
3.      {
4.       Instantiate(girl1, spawnpoint1.transform.position, spawnpoint1.transform.rotation);
5.  
6.      }
7.  
8.  

 

Well, you still only have one Instantiate call. So of course there's only one character spawned.

 

Also, when you say 'nothing happens', do you mean that it's also not spawning the first character either? If so, are you calling SpawnPlayersStart anywhere?

 

I have only one order at the moment. If I get this one working, I will try with all four.
With nothing happens, I mean the prefab does not spawn, it complies OK and console shows no error.

I am not caling SpawnPlayersStart anywhere.... should I?

 

sorry, yes, I am using

Code (JavaScript):

1. function SpawnPlayersStart()
2.         {
3.                 Instantiate(girl1, spawnpoint1.position, spawnpoint1.rotation);
4.  
5.         }

 

You have to call SpawnPlayersStart somewhere in order for that code to execute. In your first post, you had the code in Start(), which is called by the Unity engine, as long as the script is attached to an object. However, it does not do the same with functions that have your own names on them, like that one does.

 

I'm sorry but I don' follow.
Now I have this script (named SpawnPlayersStart) attached to one of the players prefabs

Code (JavaScript):

1. #pragma strict
2. //Variables for spawing prefab
3. var player1: GameObject;
4. var player2: GameObject;
5. var player3: GameObject;
6. var player4: GameObject;
7.  
8.  
9. //Variables for spawnpoints
10. var point_1: Transform;
11. var point_2: Transform;
12. var point_3: Transform;
13. var point_4: Transform;
14.  
15.  
16. function Start ()
17. {
18.  
19.  
20.                 Instantiate(player1, point_1.position, point_1.rotation);
21.                 Instantiate(player2, point_2.position, point_2.rotation);
22.                 Instantiate(player3, point_3.position, point_4.rotation);
23.                 Instantiate(player4, point_4.position, point_4.rotation);
24.  
25. }
26.  
27. function Update () {
28.  
29. }

But that is not enough. From where exactly I should call SpawnPlayersStart?

 

You say it's attached to one of the player prefabs - it needs to be attached to an object that's in your scene in order to be run. (In fact, you definitely DON'T want it attached to the prefabs; if it is, then spawning that prefab will cause an infinite loop of spawning prefabs and spawning more prefabs because they spawn when they spawn.)
