Spawner Component

The spawner component is a gameplay component that can spawn prefabs.

Component Settings

The Spawner component in the Inspector Window. This example will spawn one of three prefabs at one of two locations, and not spawn another until the first is destroyed.

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.
Spawn Count	How many prefabs should be spawned at once.
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.

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.

Known Issues

• There is a ten-second delay before an item is considered "Destroyed" before a new item will be spawned in its place when using Spawn On Destruction mode.
• A prefab destroyed using a Kill Action isn't seen as destroyed by the spawner component for Spawn On Destruction mode.
