Question by ChubbsBunns · Nov 22, 2020 at 09:58 AM · platformerinstantiate-game-object

Player object not instantiating at where I want it to

Whenever my player gets destroyed, I want it to be instantiated at the transform.position of a specific game object, of which I have named revivePoint. I have 2 scripts and 1 game object relating to this: 1) GameDataLog.cs 2) RevivePoint game object (which has a RevivePoint.cs script) 3) PlayerController game object (which has a PlayerController.cs script) The code I have used is as follows:

At the start of the scene, I get the GameDataLog to reference the revivepoint game object

 private void Awake()
 {
     currentRevivePointObject = FindObjectOfType<RevivePoint>();
     currentRevivePoint = currentRevivePointObject.transform;
 }

then whenever the player dies, there will be 0 player controller objects, hence I use the GameDataLog to initiate a series of scripts

 private void Update()
 {
     if (FindObjectsOfType<PlayerController>().Length < 1)
     {
         ReviveHere(currentRevivePoint);
     }
 }

this calls the the ReviveHere function

 public void ReviveHere(Transform reviveMeHere)
 {
     Instantiate(player, reviveMeHere);
 }

so by right the game object should instantiate at the centre of wherever I place the revivepoint game object, as long as there is only 1 in the scene.

But the playercontroller always gets instantiated to the top right of the revivepoint for no apparent reason, which has become a problem for me making levels. I know the player controller;s revivepoint is still somewhat dependant on the revivepoint.transform as I did play around with it and the player always revives at the exact same top right position of the revivepoint.

this is just a screenshot of what im working with. I cant send a gif because of the filesize. [1]: /storage/temp/171459-screenshot-5.png
