Prefab Powerup works, but instantiated clone does not

[pinkyking256]

This is the code that I have on my player script:

 void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D collider2D)
    {
        if (collider2D.gameObject.tag == "powerup")
        {
            PoweredUp = true;
            PowerupTimer = PowerupTimer;
            PowerupTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
        }
    }

…and this is on the powerup itself:

    void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider2D)
    {
        if (collider2D.gameObject.tag == "Player")
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
    }

For some reason, any prefabs that I drop directly into my scene work perfectly, however instantiated ones get destroyed, but for some reason, do not trigger the “PoweredUp” boolean.

Here is a more complicated script that I have on the spawner objects:

 public GameObject powerup;
    public float minWait;
    public float maxWait;

    private bool isSpawning;

    IEnumerator SpawnObject(float seconds)
    {
        Debug.Log("Waiting for " + seconds + " seconds");

        yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);
        Instantiate(powerup, transform.position, transform.rotation);    
        isSpawning = false;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (!isSpawning)
        {
            isSpawning = true;
            StartCoroutine(SpawnObject(UnityEngine.Random.Range(minWait, maxWait)));
        }

Any solutions, or ways I could have done this more efficiently?

Ok I got it, there was a compiler warning referencing the line “PowerupTimer = PowerupTimer” so I just changed it to “PowerupTimer = 7f” which is pretty much the same thing.
