Hi everybody.

I am developing a tank game which is similar to Tank 1990. I mean that it is not the close game, just similar.

. Each scene, game instantiate several tanks in order. My question is: How to instantiate Tanks in order ?

Ex:

scene 1: Tank1, Tank1, Tank1, Tank1, Tank2, Tank2, Tank2, Tank2

scene 2: Tank2, Tank2, Tank2, Tank2, Tank1, Tank1, Tank1, Tank1,

scene 3: Tank2, Tank1, Tank2, Tank1, Tank2, Tank1, Tank1, Tank1,

Thanks

Just declare an array of GameObjects, and fill it with the right prefabs in the right order. Just loop through the array to instantiate your tanks.

public GameObject[] tankPrefabArray = new GameObject[1];//assign via inspector (or via code if you wish)

void Start() {
     foreach(GameObject tankPrefab in tankPrefabArray) {
          GameObject newTank = Instantiate(tankPrefab, position, rotation) as GameObject;
     }
}

If you don’t want to instantiate the tanks at the same time, but rather by calling a method when certain conditions apply (such as the last tanks having been destroyed), use an index that increases.

public GameObject[] tankPrefabArray = new GameObject[1];//assign via inspector (or via code if you wish)
public int tankSpawnIndex = 0;    

public void SpawnTank() {
     if(tankSpawnIndex  < tankPrefabArray.Length) {
          GameObject newTank = Instantiate(tankPrefabArray [tankSpawnIndex ], position, rotation) as GameObject;
          tankSpawnIndex ++;
     }
     else {
          Debug.Log("End of array reached.");
     }
     
}
