Question by TripodGRANNE · Oct 18, 2011 at 12:40 AM · instantiateprefabarrayrandomspawn

Spawning Objects Using An Array.

Hello, What id like to do is Instantiate an array of Prefabs to an array of Spawn points.

Say i have 5 prefabs in the objectsToSpawn Array, id like to spawn those prefabs at the array of spawnLocations.But say i have 6 spawnLocations i want to randomly select from my 5 objectsToSpawn and fill the 6 spawn points.

Whats happening is it randomly selects from the prefabs and spawns 1 object in a random spawn point from the spawnLocations Array.

Heres My Example Code:

//Objects To Spawn var objectsToSpawn : GameObject[];

//Spawn Locations var spawnLocations : Transform[];

function Spawn() { //Select From Objects To Spawn var t$$anonymous$$ngToSpawn : int = Random.Range( 0, objectsToSpawn.length ); //Select From Spawn Locations var placeToSpawn : int = Random.Range( 0, spawnLocations.length ); Instantiate( objectsToSpawn[t$$anonymous$$ngToSpawn], spawnLocations[placeToSpawn].position,transform.rotation); } Sorry i cant be more clear but i hope You can understand what i am trying to do. Thanks for the help!

You can have another function (or modify the one you have) to sweep all spawnLocations and create a random prefab at each one:

function SpawnAllPoints() {
  for (var i=0; i < spawnLocations.length; i++){
    //Select From Objects To Spawn
    var t$$anonymous$$ngToSpawn : int = Random.Range( 0, objectsToSpawn.length );
    Instantiate( objectsToSpawn[t$$anonymous$$ngToSpawn], spawnLocations[i].position, transform.rotation );
  }
}
