Question by mreanaa · Jan 03, 2017 at 04:21 PM · instantiatetransformvector3positioninglocation

How to instantiate Object to specific location?

I have this code:

 private void PopulateServerEntities()
 {
     var globals = FindObjectOfType<GlobalAssets>();
     
     var npc = Instantiate<GameObject>(globals.NetworkEntityStatePrototype);
     var chest = Instantiate<GameObject>(globals.NetworkEntityStatePrototype);

     npc.GetComponent<NetworkEntityState>().PrefabType = PrefabType.Npc;
     chest.GetComponent<NetworkEntityState>().PrefabType = PrefabType.Chest;

     NetworkServer.Spawn(npc);
     NetworkServer.Spawn(chest);
 }


And would like to spawn the chest object at 10, 10, 10 so I used

 var chest = Instantiate<GameObject>(globals.NetworkEntityStatePrototype, new Vector3(10, 10, 10), Quaternion.identity);

But it just doesn't work, the object is still at 0, 0, 0

Is there anything wrong with this approach?

I think you should do that:

 var chest = Instantiate(globals.NetworkEntityStatePrototype, new Vector3(10, 10, 10), Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;

or this:

 var chest = Instantiate<GameObject>(globals.NetworkEntityStatePrototype);
 chest.transform.position = location;

i tried like this: var chest = Instantiate(globals.NetworkEntityStatePrototype); chest.transform.position = new Vector3(120, 120, 120); it just spawned at 0,0,0
