Replacing empty gameobjects with prefabs

Questions & Answers
1

I have a prefab with some empty gameobjects as anchor points for other prefabs. I want to replace there empty gameobject with a random prefab from an array, keeping the position, rotation and scale.

This way I hope to achieve 'randomly' generated blocks.

You can do this with a script by going:

public GameObject[] prefabs; // assign these in the editor.

void GenerateRandomBlocks()
{        
    foreach(Transform child in transform)
    {
      int randomIndex = Random.Range(0,prefabs.length - 1);
      GameObject randomBlock = Instantiate(prefabs[randomIndex], child.transform.position, child.transform.rotation); // this creates a new prefab of a random type at the transform of the child object.
      randomBlock.transform.localScale = child.transform.localScale; // this applies the child's scale to the new object.
      randomBlock.parent = transform; // this assigns the new object as a child of the child's parent.
    }
}

Then place this script on the object that contains all the locators for random blocks

var all:GameObject;
all=GameObject.FindObjectsOfType(GameObject);//get objects in scene

var i :int;
var fab0:GameObject;//<--drag n drop you block prefabs here in the inspector
var fab1:GameObject;
var fab2:GameObject;
    
var fabs:GameObject[];
          fabs=new GameObject[3];
    
    fabs[0]=fab0;
    fabs[1]=fab1;
    fabs[2]=fab2;
for (var obj:GameObject in all){

//put your spawn point objects in the scene with the name "marker"!!!
 
if(obj.transform.name.Contains("marker"){    
    i=Random.Range(0,3);
    Instantiate(fabs_,obj.transform.position, fabs*.transform.rotation);}*_

}

try makeing the prefab a child object of the empty gameobject
