My Code freezes Unity - not sure what to do...

Questions & Answers
1

I’m working on a horror game project and have the following problem: As soon as the player enters a specific zone, he triggers an enemy spawner, which should spawn only 1(!) enemy that hunts the player down. However, as soon as the Player enters the Zone, Unity freezes up and I can only close it via the task manager…don’t know if there is any crash report I could show you guys…

Here are my three scripts, which should be working together (i got two variables “ActivatedCheck” and “BoolStatus” for me to check if everything is working in the editor - just in case you’re wondering :wink: ).

Please note, I am an absolute beginner when it comes to coding - I learn something new everyday :slight_smile:
The whole code is done in Javascript.

Here are my three scripts:

PlayerSpawnTrigger.js :

static var spawning : boolean = false;
var hauntMapTrigger: GameObject;
var boolState = 0;


function OnTriggerEnter(other: Collider) //Check if something has entered the trigger (and declares this object in "other"/////
{
	if(other.GetComponent.<Collider>().tag == hauntMapTrigger.tag)
	{
		spawning = true;
		boolState = 1;
	}
}

function OnTriggerExit(other: Collider) //Check if the Player has exited the trigger///
{
	if(other.GetComponent.<Collider>().tag == hauntMapTrigger.tag)
	{
		spawning = false;
		HauntSpawner.functionActivated = false;
		boolState = 0;
	}
}

HauntSpawner.js :

var Player : Transform;
var MinSpawnPos : float = 5;
var MaxSpawnPos : float = 25;
var EnemyPrefab : GameObject;

var MinEnemies : int = 1;
var MaxEnemies : int = 1;
var HowManyToSpawn : int = 1;

static var functionActivated = false;
var ActivatedCheck = 0;


function Update()
{
	///Spawn enemy on Trigger///
	if(PlayerSpawnTrigger.spawning == true && functionActivated == false)
	{
		Spawn();
	}
}



function Spawn()
{
	var dist : float = Vector3.Distance(Player.position,transform.position);

	if(PlayerSpawnTrigger.spawning == true)
	{
		var position: Vector3 = Vector3(Random.Range(MinSpawnPos, MaxSpawnPos), 147, Random.Range(MinSpawnPos, MaxSpawnPos));

		HowManyToSpawn = 1;

		for(var i = 0; i < HowManyToSpawn;)
		{
			Instantiate (EnemyPrefab,position,Quaternion.identity);
		}

		functionActivated = true;
		ActivatedCheck = 1;
	}
}

HauntMoving.js :

var Player : Transform;
var MoveSpeed = 4;
var MinDist = 1;
var MaxDist = 15;


function Update()


{
	///Moves toward Player////

	transform.LookAt (Player.position);

	var dist = Vector3.Distance(transform.position,Player.position);

	if(dist <= MaxDist)
	{
		transform.position += transform.forward * MoveSpeed*Time.deltaTime;
	}

	if(dist <= MinDist)
		{
			HasSpawned = false;
			Destroy(this.gameObject);

		}


}

Like I said - I haven’t been coding that long, although I’m starting to get a feel for that logical thinking :wink:

Any Help would be GREATLY appreciated!

your for loop in second script line 35 is not increasing I.

for(var i = 0; i < HowManyToSpawn; i++)
