How can I fix this?,How do i Fix this?

[namaninja43]

(I am new to unity BTW) So in my game, an object(enemy) is moving from the left of the screen, to the right of the screen, then it de-spawns if the player collides with it. (the player is a hammer-thing that slams down from the top). The enemy is instantiated, so clones then spawn in after it. My problem is that when i destroy an enemy, the enemies stop spawning after it.

Does anyone know a way in which I can destroy the enemy that collided with the player, and clones of the enemies continue to spawn after. Thanks

It’s good practice in game development to keep static classes of things that last for the entire game. For instance your spawning system should not be controlled by a clone, but rather by something that will continue existing. Make a script called GameManager (or whatever) and attach it to something constant like your Main Camera (or whatever). Then in your enemy script, store an instance of GameManager:

public GameManager gameManager;
void Start(){
    gameManager = Camera.main.GetComponent<GameManager>(); //Or:
    gameManager = GameObject.Find("My Object of choice").GetComponent<GameManager>();
}

Then the other script:

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour{
    public void SpawnEnemy(){
        //Enemy spawning goes here. Whenever OnTriggerEvent happens, call this
    }
}

Or better yet the advanced option is to create a static class (and place it above your MonoBehaviour class:

public static class GameBehaviour {
    public static void SpawnEnemy(){
        //Same thing, spawn stuff here
    }
}
public class MyDumbMonoBehaviourClassIWontUseShushDontTellMumElseTheMunstersComeForMe : MonoBehaviour{
}

Then in your cloned enemy script you can call GameManager.SpawnEnemy() after trigger event if you’re using static class or just this.SpawnEnemy() if going with the first example.

public class EnemySpawner : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject Red;
public GameObject OrangeRed;
public GameObject Orange;

    public Transform Spawn1;
    public Transform Spawn2;
    public Transform Spawn3;

    public Camera fpsCam;

    private void Start()
    {
        StartCoroutine(Spawner());
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        DetectClickAndDestroy();
    }

    IEnumerator Spawner()
    {
    Start:
        int num1 = UnityEngine.Random.Range(1, 4);

        float diff = Time.timeSinceLevelLoad / 200;
        float difficulty = 1 - diff;
        Debug.Log(difficulty);

        if (num1 == 1)
        {
            GameObject RedCube;
            RedCube = Instantiate(Red, Spawn1);
            Destroy(RedCube, 10);
        }
        else if (num1 == 2)
        {
            GameObject OrangeRedCube;
            OrangeRedCube = Instantiate(OrangeRed, Spawn2);
            Destroy(OrangeRedCube, 10);
        }
        else if (num1 == 3)
        {
            GameObject OrangeCube;
            OrangeCube = Instantiate(Orange, Spawn3);
            Destroy(OrangeCube, 10);
        }        

        yield return new WaitForSeconds(difficulty);
        goto Start;
    }

My spawner here generates a random number and spawns a type of enemy depending on the number. These enemies are clones of enemy prefabs/gameobjects that I assign in the inspector. They spawn faster over time and always spawn at designated spawn points. I have another function which destroys the specific clone that I click on as well but not in the script below. Hope it helps.
