I am trying to make an asteroids game and I want 3 smaller asteroids to spawn in when a bigger one is destroyed, however only one asteroid is spawned in. I am still learning gdscript so I understand if I am over looking some thing obvious, here is my code:
func _death():
_Spawn()
parent.asteroid_count -= 1
queue_free()
func _Spawn():
for i in range(3):
rng.randomize()
var pos_x = rng.randf_range(-10.0,10.0)
var pos_y = rng.randf_range(-10.0,10.0)
pos = Vector2(pos_x, pos_y) + self.global_position
spawn_instance.global_position = pos
parent.add_child(spawn_instance)
Hi,
what is spawninstance where does it come from?
To spawn multiply instances you have to do something like this
it depends on what you asteroid is … a scene or a script
var spawn_scene = load("res://my_asteroid.tscn")
var script_class = load("res://my_asterois_script.gd")
for i in range(3):
rng.randomize()
var posx = rng.randfrange(-10.0,10.0)
var posy = rng.randfrange(-10.0,10.0)
pos = Vector2(posx, posy) + self.global_position
# here the new instance gets created
var spawn_instance = spawn_scene .instance() #instance when its a scene
var spawn_instance = script_class .new() # or with new when its a script
spawn_instance.global_position = pos
parent.add_child(spawn_instance)
Sorry, I only showed the two functions that I thought were relevant, there was more above it in the code.
Anyway, the spawn_instance variable was in the list of variables at the top of the code, moving into the _spawn function was enough to make it work. Thank you very much.
