Random Spawn (142433)

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

I have this script

function spawn_cube ()
{

spawn_position = new Vector3(0,0,0);
var temp_spawn_cube = Instantiate(cube, spawn_position, Quaternion.identity);
}

function Update () 
{
spawn_cube();
}

but I wanted that my cube spawns randomly from 5 to 10 sec, not every second, what should I change or add to this to work.

the easiest i can think about would be to have a variable (e.g. spawnTime) to store the new time were you want to spawn.

on start and inside spawn_cube, calculate the time you want to spawn adding randomly 5 to 10 seconds (spawnTime = time.time + system.random(5,10) ) or something like that.

on update, check if Time.time > than spawnTime.

hope i answered your question! :slight_smile:

Hey,

you can implement your own custom timer to achieve this.Simple way to achieve this is by using Invoke function.

function Start ()
{
    spawn_cube ();
}
function spawn_cube ()
 {
 
      spawn_position = new Vector3(0,0,0);
     var temp_spawn_cube = Instantiate(cube, spawn_position, Quaternion.identity);
     Invoke("spawn_cube",Random.Range(5.0, 10.0));
 }

This is not tested , Check and post the result here.

It works, I tried with yield and it didnt worked but this works very well

But how can I relate spawn point to main camera? spawn_position = new Vector3(0,0,0);
