How do you setup coins like Jetpack joyride?
« on: August 29, 2014, 09:52:23 AM »
Hi,

I'm trying to spawn a coin layout similar to jetpack joyride ( see attachment)
I have made a prefab with coins as child, works great.
The problem is that I'm currently using pool manager and de spawn, re spawn doesn't work for prefab child?

Do you guys have any other suggestion on how to accomplish this?

Thanks.

Hi there,
i'm currently applying jetpack joe style coin for my game as well.
i didn't use object pool.

so i put like 20 coins in my hierarchy, and i parent them all under coinMoverObject.

The idea when the coins already outside the screen,then they will respawn with another form.

So my trick is use "array maker" action and have bunch of shapes like stars,heart,etc.
Then i use "array list get random" action to randomize the shapes that will spawn.
And this is the most boring part ever, for example when the "star shapes" got picked, i use the set position for all 20 coins. so i arrange the coins into star shape on the scene and i copy paste the x and y coordinates for each coins. and i have almost 20 shapes. so do the math :D

Hope it helps.
