Call function after other objects have run their Start() function

Questions & Answers
1

I instantiate about 100-200 game objects (random number) on an update method and each one of these game objects runs a script that randomizes their stats on Start(). Now I want to get the changed data (in order to pool them)

How can I call another method after all the Start() have played out and get the randomized results.
I ve tried using a co-routine and wait for a frame but it seems I don’t understand something in function order of execution.

Level Generator

 public void Update()
    {
         for(int i=0;i<30;i++)
         {
          Instantiate(RoomPrefab);
         }

Room Script

public void Start()
{
         for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
         { 
        GameObject temp=Instantiate(MiscGameobjects);
        MiscObjectPool .MiscObject_Positions.Add(temp);
         }
}

SizeRandomizer // Similarly there is one for Sprite and one for Color

public void Start()
{
         transform.scale=new Vector3(Random.Ranger(1.0f,2.0f),Random.Ranger(1.0f,2.0f),Random.Ranger(1.0f,2.0f));              
}

MIscObjectPool

public class MiscObjectPool : MonoBehaviour {
    public class MiscObject_data
    {
        public Vector3 position;
        public Vector3 scale;
        public Color32 color32;
        public Sprite sprite;

        public MiscObject_data(Vector3 _pos ,Vector3 _scale ,Color32 _color32, Sprite _sprite)
        {
            this.position = _pos;
            this.scale = _scale;
            this.color32 = _color32;
            this.sprite = _sprite;
        }

    }

    public Dictionary<Vector3, MiscObject_data> MiscObject_Positions
= new Dictionary<Vector3, MiscObject_data>();
    public static List<GameObject> MiscGOs = new List<GameObject>();

    **// When should i call this function in order to have the randomized MiscObj;**
    public void GetRandomized_MiscData()
    {
        foreach(GameObject miscGO in MiscGOs)
        {
            MiscObject_data data = new MiscObject_data(miscGO.transform.position,
                miscGO.transform.localScale,
                miscGO.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color,
                miscGO.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite);

            MiscObject_Positions.Add(data.position, data);
        }
    }



    public void Update()
    {
        
        foreach(Vector3 _pos in MiscObject_Positions.Keys)
        {
            if (Vector3.Distance(_pos, transform.position)<10)
            {
                // enable a pooled object in spesific _pos
                // set its randomized size
                // set its randomized Color;
            }
        }
    }

}

I Instantiate MiscObjects like rocks on scene loading , after each rock is instantiated he changes between random rock sprites , color and size .

On camera the player can see around 25-30 rocks simultaneously .So i destroy all the generated rocks but keep the data after the randomizers and save them on a dictionary with their position as the key. So that I can pool 30 rocks instead of almost 200.

Thank you for your time

im not exactly sure if this will work, but maybe make a boolean and name it something like hasCalled and in the update function just do

void Update() 
{
    if (!hasCalled)
    {
        hasCalled = true;
        TheFunctionYouWannaCall();
    }
}

so that way it will only be called once

if this is not what youre trying to do or if theres something wrong then let me know :slight_smile:
