[Closed] How to fix enemy clones from spawning more clones

Question

I'm having this issue where the master enemy will clone the enemies that go out on the play field, But then the clones will make clones of themselves, I only want the master to make clones, Here's my code. using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

 public class ENAI : MonoBehaviour {
 
     // Use this for initialization
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update() {
         int rndizer = Random.Range(1, 51);
         if (rndizer == 1 ) {
             Rigidbody clone;
             clone = Instantiate (GameObject.Find("Enemy"), transform.position, transform.rotation) as Rigidbody;
             clone.AddForce (Vector3.forward / 40);
         }
     }
 }

Something like the following should work.

 public class ENAI : MonoBehaviour {
     
     // Use this for initialization
     public bool canSpawn = true;
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update() {
         if(canSpawn){
         int rndizer = Random.Range(1, 51);
         if (rndizer == 1 ) {
             Rigidbody clone;
             clone = Instantiate (GameObject.Find("Enemy"), transform.position, transform.rotation) as Rigidbody;
             clone.AddForce (Vector3.forward / 40);
             }
         }
     }
 }

Then attach this to your clone prefab.

public class CloneScript : MonoBehaviour { public bool AmIAClone = false;s // Use this for initialization

 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update (){
     if (AmIAClone == true) {

         GetComponent<ENAI>().canSpawn = false;

     }
 }

}

Right principle. But for the love of all things perfomant set your bool canSpawn once during start. Leave Update for things that must happen every frame.

         if(canSpawn){
             int rndizer = Random.Range(1, 51);
             if (rndizer == 1 ) {
                 Rigidbody clone;
                 clone = Instantiate (GameObject.Find("Enemy"), transform.position, transform.rotation) as Rigidbody;
                 clone.AddForce (Vector3.forward / 40);
                 if (gameObject.name == "Enemy(Clone)") {
                     GetComponent<ENAI>().canSpawn = false;
             }
         }
     }
 }
