Hey guys, I’ve looked around a bit and couldn’t find a great answer for this one so here goes:
I’m trying to edit the positions of an array of gameobjects, but keep getting a null object reference.
I think I’m just declaring/ editing the array incorrectly. Anyways, here’s the code:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class spawner: MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject enemyPrefab;
//time to wait before spawning starts
public float spawnDelay;
//time between each spawns
public float spawnTime;
public GameObject [] spawnLocations;
private int spawnLocationIndex;
public int maxDistance;
public Transform target;
public Transform spawnerTrans;
private int enemyCount = 0;
void Awake() {
spawnerTrans = transform;
}
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
GameObject player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Player");
target = player.transform;
maxDistance = 5;
StartCoroutine (SpawnTimeDelay());
//need to set up a randomized array of spawn locations for enemies to spawn from
//TODO: Make it so that the spawn locations can't be too close together
//TODO 2: Make it so that there can only be a certain number of dudes out at a time
int range = (Random.Range(2,8));
Debug.Log ("range is " + range);
//spawnLocations = new GameObject[range];
/*
*********************
Here's the block that screws everything up
*********************
*/
for(int i = 0; i < range; i++){
if (spawnLocations *== null){*
-
Debug.Log (i + " is null.");* -
}* -
GameObject temp = new GameObject();* -
temp.transform.position = new Vector3 (Random.Range(9.5f,11f), Random.Range(-6f,0.5f), 0);*
_ spawnLocations*.transform.position = temp.transform.position;_
_ }*_
* }*
* IEnumerator SpawnTimeDelay () {*
* while (true) {*
* if (Vector2.Distance (target.position, spawnerTrans.position) < maxDistance) {*
* Instantiate (enemyPrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);*
* enemyCount++;*
* yield return new WaitForSeconds (spawnTime);*
* }*
* if (Vector2.Distance (target.position, spawnerTrans.position) > maxDistance)*
* {*
* yield return null;*
* }*
* }*
* }*
}
