c# - Rename Instatiated GameObject - Solved

Questions & Answers
1

I am trying to make a tower defense game. At the moment i am trying to get the enemies to spawn. I can get them to spawn just find but the problem is that i cannot seem to change their name. This is my code:


    private int spawnTime = 5;//seconds between enemies
	private float timer = 0;//countdown
	public Transform enemy;
	
	void Start(){
		timer = spawnTime;
	}
	
	void Update(){
		if(timer>0){
			timer -= Time.deltaTime * 2;
		}else if(timer==0 || timer<0){
			timer = spawnTime;
			Spawn();
		}
	}
	
	void Spawn(){
		GameObject newEnemy = (GameObject)Instantiate(enemy, transform.position, Quaternion.identity); 
		newEnemy.name = "test";
		//newEnemy.transform.position = new Vector3(0f, 0.5f, 0f);
	}

Can anyone tell me how i can rename the instantiated GameObject?

EDIT:
After editing my code i found that nothing after,


GameObject newEnemy = (GameObject)Instantiate(enemy, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);

is “executing”.

Possibly because your instantiating a transform as a gameobject? make the enemy a GameObject instead of a transform.

Sorry i fixed the problem. I had a “type mis-smatch” on my script. Changing the newEnemy type from transform to GameObject worked. Thankyou.
