Help Instantiating Prefabs With Updated Transform

Questions & Answers
1

My goal was to make an in-game asset (a platform), interactable so players can build towers on the platform.
When I add this script to a new section of platform, it works great! I click, select what I want to build, and the prefab is instantiated exactly where it should be on the platform. However, if I click on ANOTHER platform object with the same script and try to build again, the prefab is instantiated at the previous location. I don’t understand what’s going on–I thought each object with a script creates a new instance of itself, since I’m not using static references.

{    
    public Tower activeTower;
    public Transform towerTransform;
    public Tower towerToPlace;

    public void BuildTowerOnPlatform(Tower towerToPlace)
    {
        activeTower = towerToPlace;
        Tower placeTower = 
        Instantiate(activeTower,towerTransform.position,activeTower.transform.rotation);
        UiController.instance.CloseTowerBuildPanel();
    }

    public void SelectTower() //use this on UI button
    {
        BuildTowerOnPlatform(towerToPlace);
    }      
}

Hope this piece of code is helpful–any ideas or approaches would be absolutely welcome! What on earth am I missing? I am at my wits end with this. A seemingly simple task has sent me down the rabbit hole.

Hello @Windtlkaer87

The main problem is your position variable when instantiateing. towerTransform.position

Are you sure you dont want to activeTower.transform.position instead? , as you do in the rotation? Because you use towerTransform but in this code we dont see what towerTransform is… most probably, towerTransform is always the first tower so everytime you spawn you spawn there

Bye!
