Spawn GameObjects randomly on a Circle Collider2D

Questions & Answers

Hey guys, how can I spawn gameObjects on a Circle with Circle Collider2D so that the gameObjects also have automatically the right rotation?

Here is an example what I mean:

So the spike should spawn randomly on the circle with the right rotation.

I am not familiar with 2D games, but here is the idea :

//Drag & drop your circle from the inspector
public CircleCollider2D Circle ;

public void PlaceGameObject( GameObject gameObject )
{
	float angle = Random.value * 360 ;
	gameObject.transform.position = Circle.gameObject.transform.position + Circle.offset + // Center of the collider
									Vector3.right * Circle.radius * Mathf.cos( angle ) + // Horizontal position
									Vector3.up * Circle.radius * Mathf.sin( angle ) ; // Vertical position
	gameObject.transform.rotation.SetLookRotation( Vector3.forward, gameObject.transform.position - (Circle.gameObject.transform.position + Circle.offset) ); // Try -Vector3.forward if Vector3.forward doesn't work 
									
}
