CreateObject Advanced ( parenting and naming)
« on: October 13, 2015, 07:29:12 AM »
Hi,

 For improved productivity, I duplicated CreateObject and added the possibility to name the created Object as well as parent it ( to the owner if wanted).



 You can get it on the Ecosystem or below:

CreateObjectAdvanced
 
Bye,

Hello,

This is a great action! I was wondering if I could make a small request if it's not too complicated.

Since we can parent the Gameobject to a parent, is it possible to set whether the Position and Rotation of the spawned object will be using the World Space or Local Space? I notice that it is only using the World Space at the moment.

Hi omgitstri.
The object is set to a parent 'after' positioning and rotating, so both would give the same result.

Hi,

 no no, the request is good, indeed with UI, it changes the way the RectTransform is treated.

So basically now you have a WorldPositionStays bool, and when parenting it will either keep the new object in place or replace it relative to its parent.

Let me know if this works for you ( it's updated on the ecosystem)


 Bye,

Was creating this type of action myself but I'd rather employ yours. To top it off, I was going to allow the user to set the game object active or not. A great use for pooling objects and cutting out naming, parenting, and setting to in/active. Think you can add a boolean to SetActive or not?
