Question by kmouse · Dec 19, 2010 at 08:26 PM · rigidbodyinstantiatespeedlag

Rigidbody load problem

I have a script:

var boxprefab : Rigidbody; function Update () { if (Input.GetKey("up")) { Instantiate(boxprefab, transform.position, transform.rotation); } if (Input.GetKey("space")) { Instantiate(boxprefab, (transform.position), transform.rotation);

 }  

}

but when i press space or up it creates the Rigidbody for a bit and the game starts to lag and not receive any key presses until the Rigidbodys have deleted themselves. How can i make it so that it doesn't lag?

Use GetKeyDown so you only instantiate once, not every frame.

Is there any way to stop the lag without slowing the creation rate of the creation of the Rigidbodies?

You really don't want to make one every frame, because that means it's framerate-dependent, which is bad. Use InvokeRepeating or a timer or something, but keep in $$anonymous$$d that lots of objects = lag, no matter what. The CPU can only do so much.

is there a function that will make an object instantiate a certain amount of time each second?

InvokeRepeating, as I said.
