Hello there! I’m trying to spawn “prefabs” and then rename - write information on these items. (In running)
Firstly, I tried store in “script”. I select item with raycast and try to get its “script”. But I don’t get “script”. I found some similar question in searching. They say, İf you change one items value, it change other items value. Because they connect same “script”. I didnt expect that. Can anybody knows how can I set info to “prefabs” separatly?
I hope I was able to explain myself.
Sorry, I have no clue what you are asking.
Lol. Okay let me say this way. I want to spawn many items and name them in the playing game. How can I do that. The name of each item will be different.
It’s common to confuse the prefab with a gameObject created from it. Don’t change the prefab while running. Common code looks like:
public GameObject somePrefab;
// don't change this
void Start() {
GameObject g1 = Instantiate(somePrefab);
// g1 is a normal gameObject, change it any way you like:
g1.transform.name="horsie";
Oh, I told my problem wrong again. But thanks this information is useful for my another problem. I searched for some more and I found ScriptableObject, exactly the solution I was looking for. I want to be able to add things such as life, stamina, name, surname to the created prefab. But while the game was running I couldn’t understand creating and editing a copy of scriptableObject.
Note that scriptableObjects do not allow saving in builds. So if you plan to modify the data and try to save it back out in a build, it doesn’t work.
ScriptbleObjects don’t do anything prefabs don’t. So you can use a prefab to do any ScriptabelObject tricks… If you like how it works, you could turn it into a ScriptableObject (since making prefabs is easier than making SO’s).
An SO is really just a prefab with a different icon that can’t be Instantiated. But that’s a nice thing if you have a big project. You don;t need to remember “OK, this prefab holds the data, and should never be used except for that”.
