Using a Coroutine to spawn enemies with different spawning locations?

So I am moving from InvokeRepeating to spawn enemies to a Coroutine.

Coroutines still confuse me, but it works better in my case than InvokeRepeating.

So, I am using a Coroutine for an array of enemies to spawn towards the player. However, they all spawn in the same spot. In my InvokeRepeating I never had this issue because I placed the gameobject at the spawn point I want before making it a prefab. So in the prefab the coordinates are correct.

But for the coroutine, they all spawn where the Coroutine script is placed on my game (whether I put it in my empty game object for scripts, or my background)

Here is my code:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public class EnemiesCoroutine : MonoBehaviour {
3.  
4.  
5.         int score2 = Scoring.score;
6.     bool isSpawning = false;
7.     public GameObject[] enemies;
8.    
9.    
10.     IEnumerator SpawnObject(int index, float seconds)
11.     {
12.        
13.         transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
14.        
15.         Debug.Log ("Waiting for " + seconds + " seconds");
16.        
17.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);
18.  
19.         Instantiate(enemies[index], transform.position, transform.rotation);
20.        
21.        
22.         isSpawning = false;
23.     }
24.    
25.     void Update ()
26.     {
27.  
28.         score2 = Scoring.score;
29.        
30.         if(! isSpawning && score2 >= 0)
31.         {
32.             isSpawning = true;
33.             int enemyIndex = Random.Range(0, enemies.Length);
34.             StartCoroutine(SpawnObject(enemyIndex, Random.Range(3, 3)));
35.         }
36.        
37.         else if ( !isSpawning && score2 <= 5)
38.         {
39.             isSpawning = true;
40.             int enemyIndex = Random.Range(0, enemies.Length);
41.             StartCoroutine(SpawnObject(enemyIndex, Random.Range(1, 1)));
42.         }
43.     }
44.    
45.  

I've tried to search for help on this but Google came up empty.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

In SpawnObject, this line looks redundant because it is just assigning itself the value it already has.

I guess you need to spawn the object at enemies[index] transform and not the EnemiesCoroutine transform, so
it could be something like this instead :

Instantiate(enemies[index], enemies[index].gameobject.transform.position, enemies[index].gameobject.transform.rotation);

 

Thanks for the reply, it's much appreciated.

The original code you listed did not work, but when I changed it to:

Code (CSharp):

1. Instantiate(enemies[index], enemies[index].transform.position, enemies[index].transform.rotation);

It worked perfectly. So it's still your doing, so thank you.

I also removed the line you said to. I didn't realize that. So thanks again, it is much appreciated!

And thanks for sharing that link in your signature, I plan to implement that down the road.

 

Glad it worked
