Spawning objects in only a certain area

Hello,
I would like to spawn an object in a certain are of the play space becuse at the moment i can spawn "coins any where on the board.

Heres is the code i have for spawning coins

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class SpawnObj : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public GameObject goldCoin;
8.     public GameObject bronzeCoin;
9.  
10.     void Update()
11.     {
12.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
13.         {
14.             if (LOGIC.player == "yellow")
15.             {
16.                 //Spawns the object Gold
17.                 Vector3 spawnPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
18.                 spawnPosition.z = 0.0f;
19.                 GameObject objectInstance = Instantiate(goldCoin, spawnPosition, Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, 0)));
20.                 LOGIC.turn++;
21.             } else if (LOGIC.player == "red")
22.             {
23.                 //Spawns the object Bronze
24.                 Vector3 spawnPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
25.                 spawnPosition.z = 0.0f;
26.                 GameObject objectInstance = Instantiate(bronzeCoin, spawnPosition, Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, 0)));
27.                 LOGIC.turn++;
28.             }
29.         }
30.     }
31. }
32.  
33.  
34.  

I have an are where i want the coins to spawn

I also have code that lets me detect the area of that baord

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. [RequireComponent(typeof(BoxCollider2D))]
6. public class boxBound: MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     public Vector2 _BoundsMin;
9.  
10.     public Vector2 _BoundsMax;
11.  
12.     private BoxCollider2D _BoxCol;
13.  
14.     void Awake()
15.     {
16.         _BoxCol = GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
17.  
18.         _BoundsMax = _BoxCol.bounds.max;
19.         _BoundsMin = _BoxCol.bounds.min;
20.     }
21. }
22.  

Thanks (sorry for reposing noone responded last time)

 

Hi @Sugarmaster100

"(sorry for reposing noone responded last time)"

Wasn't it this thread?
https://forum.unity.com/threads/spawning-objects-in-only-a-certain-area.608440/

You didn't provide much info, but at least I answered... and recommended using bounds as one option.

 

No it was this thread https://forum.unity.com/threads/spawning-objects-in-only-a-certain-area.609847/
I added a bit more detail, what are bound and how are they used?

 

@Sugarmaster100

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Bounds.html

You could just take min and max of each axis, and then spawn your item using these coordinates.

For example, colliders and sprites have bounds.

 

I have that with the code, the problem I have is I have no idea how to combine that with instantiate.

 

@Sugarmaster100

Well I think it's better you do a bit more reading and learning C# basics.
But anyway, you could do something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. var bounds = someCollider.bounds;
2. var px = Random.Range(bounds.min.x, bounds.max.x);
3. var py = Random.Range(bounds.min.y, bounds.max.y);
4. Vector2 pos = new Vector3(px, py);

Then use this to place your instantiated object.

 

@eses
sorry to say but that didnt work, i just got a lot of errors.

 

@Sugarmaster100

Well var is just to be used in methods... not in class member fields.

Like i said I think you should go through C# basics tutorial.
