Instantiate a class that takes an overload?

Questions & Answers

Hello all!

I have a class called HeroUnit that takes a BattleManager as an argument. In the BattleManager class, I am instantiating Heros from an array, however, I cant seem to figure out where to pass it a battlemanager object. I want to pass it the battlemanager object that its currently being instatiated from with ‘this’. The weird part is that this code creates the Gameobjects that have the HeroUnit script on it just fine and VisualStudio doesnt complain about them not taking a BattleManager as an argument. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Here is an example:

 public  class HeroUnit : Unit
    {
        BattleManager battlemanager;

public HeroUnit(BattleManager newBattleManager)
{
    battlemanager = newBattleManager;
}

}

public class BattleManager
{
public HeroUnit playerUnit;

 public void BattleSetup()
    {
        Debug.Log("Creating Units now!");

        

        // Create Heros  at their spawn points and store them into variables.
        CreateHeroes();


        // Access the HeroUnit information on the Hero GameObjects and store them into variables.
        playerUnit = createdHeroes[0].GetComponent<HeroUnit>();


    }


    void CreateHeroes()
    {
        
        
       if(party.currentParty.Count <= 3)
        {
            createdHeroes = new GameObject[party.currentParty.Count];

            for (int i = 0; i < party.currentParty.Count; i++)
            {
                createdHeroes <em>= Instantiate(party.currentParty_, heroLocations*);*_</em>

}
}

}

}

if the HeroUnit is attached to the gameobject it means thaat unit derives from monobehaviour and if thats the case you cant use constructors, they get called multiple times when the gameobjects get serialize/deserialize, just avoid it and create an init method

 public  class HeroUnit : Unit
 {
     BattleManager battlemanager
     public void Init(BattleManager newBattleManager)
     {
          battlemanager = newBattleManager;
     }
 }

and when instantiate

         for (int i = 0; i < party.currentParty.Count; i++)
         {
             createdHeroes <em>= Instantiate(party.currentParty_, heroLocations*);*_</em>

createHeroes*.GetComponent().Init(this);*
}
