The spawner component is a gameplay component that can spawn prefabs.
Component Settings
Property | Description |
---|---|
Type | When should the spawner spawn something. |
Always Spawn | Spawns prefabs repeatedly. |
Interval | The time between each prefab being spawned by the spawner. Can be set as a constant or a random time between two values. |
Spawn On Destruction | Spawns a prefab once the last spawned prefab is destroyed. |
Delay | The Delay before the prefab is spawned when this spawner is destroyed. Can be set as a constant or a random time between two values. |
Prefabs | A list of prefabs to spawn. The prefabs will be chosen randomly from this list. |
Locations | Defines where prefabs are spawned. |
OnSpawner | Spawns prefabs on the position of this gameobject. |
OnTargets | Spawns prefabs on the provided list of Spawn Points. |
Spawn Points | A list of transforms that will be used as spawn points for the prefabs. |
Per Spawn Point | Use the spawn type for all spawn points or just one. (More information needed) |
Example Usage
Spawners can be used to continuously spawn items or collectables for points.
Using Spawn on Destruction can essentially "respawn" a prefab once it's destroyed. Using the random mode of the spawn delay can make this use case more interesting.
Note: Be careful when using a low interval value with Always Spawn. Many objects will be spawned in the same position and may cause the game to lag.
