I’m instantiating the prefab “Pinner”, and when it attacks it instantiates a projectile.
These projectiles all instantiate from the original Pinner, not the new clone.
I’ve searched for hours now and I can’t find a solution to what seems like a VERY basic problem, so I’m thinking it’s something due to my inexperience and not a complex issue at all.
Please send help >.>
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Pinner : MonoBehaviour
{
public float damage;
private GameObject player;
public GameObject projectile;
private AudioSource pew;
private CameraShake Shake;
public Animator cameraShake;
public GameObject deathParticle;
public Transform attackPos;
public LayerMask Enemies;
public Transform shootPoint;
public float attackRange;
private Transform[] children;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
children = GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
foreach (Transform child in children)
{
if (child.gameObject.name == "ShootPoint")
{
shootPoint = child;
}
}
pew = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
Shake = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("ScreenShake").GetComponent<CameraShake>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
}
void LateUpdate()
{
if (transform.position.x - player.transform.position.x < 0)
{
transform.localScale = new Vector3(-0.3f, transform.localScale.y, 1.0f);
}
else if (transform.position.x - player.transform.position.x >= 0)
{
transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.3f, transform.localScale.y, 1.0f);
}
}
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
Collider2D[] enemiesToDamage = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(attackPos.position, attackRange, Enemies);
if (enemiesToDamage.Length != 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < enemiesToDamage.Length; i++)
{
//FindObjectOfType<AudioManager>().Play("HitFast");
if (other.gameObject.layer == 10)
{
Shake.CamShake();
Instantiate(deathParticle, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
enemiesToDamage*.GetComponent<Player>().Kill("LittlePin");*
Destroy(this.gameObject);
}
else if (other.gameObject.layer == 8)
{
enemiesToDamage*.GetComponent().TakeDamage(10);*
}
}
}
}
public void Attack()
{
print(“boo”);
_ = Instantiate(projectile, shootPoint.position, shootPoint.rotation);
pew.Play();
}
}
,So, I’m new to unity and after hours of research, I can’t seem to fix my problem: my cloned game objects are all firing from the first’s body.
I spawn multiple copies of the same prefab in using a spawner and they all fire from the original, and if I destroy the original from one of the clones.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Pinner : MonoBehaviour
{
public float damage;
private GameObject player;
public GameObject projectile;
private AudioSource pew;
private CameraShake Shake;
public Animator cameraShake;
public GameObject deathParticle;
public Transform attackPos;
public LayerMask Enemies;
public Transform shootPoint;
public float attackRange;
private Transform[] children;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
children = GetComponentsInChildren();
foreach (Transform child in children)
{
if (child.gameObject.name == “ShootPoint”)
{
shootPoint = child;
}
}
pew = GetComponent();
player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag(“Player”);
Shake = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag(“ScreenShake”).GetComponent();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
}
void LateUpdate()
{
if (transform.position.x - player.transform.position.x < 0)
{
transform.localScale = new Vector3(-0.3f, transform.localScale.y, 1.0f);
}
else if (transform.position.x - player.transform.position.x >= 0)
{
transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.3f, transform.localScale.y, 1.0f);
}
}
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
Collider2D[] enemiesToDamage = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(attackPos.position, attackRange, Enemies);
if (enemiesToDamage.Length != 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < enemiesToDamage.Length; i++)
{
//FindObjectOfType().Play(“HitFast”);
if (other.gameObject.layer == 10)
{
Shake.CamShake();
Instantiate(deathParticle, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
enemiesToDamage*.GetComponent().Kill(“LittlePin”);*
Destroy(this.gameObject);
}
else if (other.gameObject.layer == 8)
{
enemiesToDamage*.GetComponent().TakeDamage(10);*
}
}
}
}
public void Attack()
{
print(“boo”);
_ = Instantiate(projectile, shootPoint.position, shootPoint.rotation);
pew.Play();
}
}
Right after the void Start the “children = GetComponentsInChildren();” part was my attempt at trying to get the clone to refer to itself, to no avail.
