Title: Create 40+ objects & then parent them to 1 gameobject (easy way?)
Post by: 4ppleseed on March 08, 2014, 12:59:28 PM

Hi,

I'm currently creating a gameobject (prefab1) and then storing it as a gameobject variable and then setting it's parent to an empty game object - to collect them all in the same place. I'm doing this one by one and it's taking forever! Any way to speed this up?  :o

Yeah, use a loop to repeat the actions for each object.

Check out PlaymakerSamples\TestLab\Spawning\SpawnGrid for an example. Note, in that sample you can set the delay on Grid Maker to 0 and all the objects will be made in one frame.

I did a Match game quick example that does the loop iterations until completion. It's not perfect but might help you get the idea.

Just scroll down in the first post and hit the download on Matchup.
