How to clone randomly

Question

I have a 3d game where you drag things off the world but I need a cloner that clones my object randomly from x-2 to x2 and goes faster eg: every ten seconds speed increases by original speed *1.5. The other posts did not work for me. I tried nothing but the other posts. Thanks for helping!

 public GameObject prefab;
 public float x;//i dont know what x is

 void Start() { StartCoroutine(Cloner()); }

 float frequence = 10;

 void Update() {
    if(timer > 10) {
       timer = 0; frequence = frequence / 1.5f;
     }
     timer += Time.deltaTime;
 }
 
 IEnumerator Cloner()
 {    
    while(true){
       yield return new WaitForSeconds(frequence);
       Insntiate(prefab, new Vector3(x - 2, x + 2), Quaternion.identity);
    }
 }

nothing happens? is the coroutine not getting triggered? add in update a Debug.Log(timer); and see if its updating correctly, and add inside the ienumerator next to the instantiate a Debug.Log("spawning"); if the spawning is getting printed the object is spawning but maybe far away or something depending on the x

Oh sorry, it works but it spawns where my first guy was, and because you throw the guy off the world the other clone spawns there too!

totally my fault change the instantiate line to this

 Instantiate(prefab, new Vector3(Random.Range(x + 2, x - 2), 0, 0), Quaternion.identity)

Do you know how to make a "landing base" or an area just for my clones ins$$anonymous$$d? Like a spawn point.

The troops get indtantiate in the terrain so creating a smaler terrain quad or box give the smaller terrain a new layer and make the ratcast only hit that layer

Also, my box collider leaves the player now do you know how to glue the box collider on?

xxmariofer zacharif · Jul 31, 2019 at 05:02 PM 0

Share

if its leaves the player is because the physics is not getting updated, since the collider is "glued" by default, did you edit the fixed time value? or are yuo setting time.timescale to a value lower than 1?

Ok, I debugged it and it said it worked all the time! But when I dug deeper it still clones after one was thrown off but it disappears! When I clicked on it it said all the stuff it should have but it was gone except for the box collider? Any ideas?

FINAL CODE:

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class Clone : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public GameObject prefab;
     public float x=2;//i dont know what x is
     void Start() { StartCoroutine(Cloner()); }
     float frequence = 10;
     float timer = 0;
     void Update()
     {
         if (timer > 10)
         {
             timer = 0; frequence = frequence / 0.5f;
         }
         timer += Time.deltaTime;
     }
 
     IEnumerator Cloner()
     {
         while (true)
         {
             yield return new WaitForSeconds(frequence);
             Instantiate(prefab, new Vector3(Random.Range(0, 1), 0, Random.Range(0, 1)), Quaternion.identity);
             Debug.Log("Work!");
         }
     }
 }

after more than 20 comments you just copied my very first comment, and post it as an answer, and accepted your own answer? "FINAL CODE" i mean you are even using the exact same vars names, didnt you even test my code? thats really rude.

What? No! because your old code hade typos so I fixed those typos otherwise it would not work! If u want to have the answer than go ahead!

that you fixed the typos? is this a joke? the typo was that one ; was missing, and you didnt even fix it it was the one who told you that was missing, you are the most unpolite guy i have ever met in unity answers. you literally copied my code, there is not aa single difference. it took you more than 30 comments to even realize my code was working from the start is unbelivable that you believe you can waste our time like this
