Set Children into a circle.

[MarkD]

Hello, I was developing one of my systems i am currently working on and i stumbled uppon a problem. My goal is that when everything is spawned as a child, to put them into a circular shape. But what happens is that every child rotate around its own axis and just turns.

Why don’t you apply this when instantiating you may ask? Well my system does allot of calculations and positioning before and that information is crucial for the system to work, that is why this piece of code is executed afterwards when all is done.

function Cilinderizer(){  
//total amount of childs that will be there
var shaftCount:int=ShaftRowX*ShaftRowY*ShaftRowZ;
    var i:int=0; 
    var children = GetComponentsInChildren (Transform);
   for (var child : Transform in children) { 
    i++ ;
         var angle = i * Mathf.PI * 2 /shaftCount;
        var pos = Vector3 (Mathf.Cos(angle),Mathf.Sin(angle),0) * CylinderRadius;
        child.localPosition=pos; 
       
    }
   }

Did I make a mistake or is it something else? I am not using a for loop such as for(var i :int; etc,ect){} Because the loop already iterates trough all the children needed.

Is that what you want? Just write it on C#:

void Start () {
	Cilinderizer();
}

private void Cilinderizer () {
	Transform[] childs = transform.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
	float angle = 360 / (childs.Length-1);

	int i = 0;
	float radius = 3;
	foreach(Transform child in childs){
		i++;

		float currentAngle = angle + (angle * i);

		child.localPosition = new Vector3(radius,0,0);
		child.rotation = new Quaternion();
		child.RotateAround(transform.position,Vector3.forward,currentAngle);

	}
}
