yo

#

so i have a system.action that says the boss died

#

i guess that's an event

#

i know that

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:09 PM

#

Were you able to properly reference the spawner after instantiating the boss?

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:09 PM

#

right

#

wait

#

ok look

#

the boss prefab has a boss script

#

the WaveSpawnerTest has a script that spawns the boss

#

WaveSPawnerTest is the only spawner

#

there is no boss spawner

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

You're confusing stuff

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

if the level is 10 for example

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

You've only got a boss and a spawner

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

it calls SpawnBoss

#

inside WaveSpawner

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

Your boss is referenced by your spawner so it can spawn the boss.

#

You need to reference the spawner with the boss so it can let the spawner know the boss is dead.

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:11 PM

#

public WaveSpawnerTEST spawner; it is referanced

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:12 PM

#

Right now your boss is referencing a prefab asset is spawner - not the spawner in scene.

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:12 PM

#

but that's the WaveSpawnerTest prefab

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:12 PM

#

boreal notch ``public WaveSpawnerTEST spawner;`` it is referanced

Not the correct one.

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:12 PM

#

i cannot reference an instance from the hierarchy to a prefab

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:12 PM

#

Whatever it does to the prefab will not reflect on the spawner in scene.

#

It's just a reference to the prefab.

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:13 PM

#

ok

#

so how do i reference the instance

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:13 PM

#

Cache the set the reference to the spawner like I've shown multiple times.

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:13 PM

#

it wont let me tho :/

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

Sure it will. Show me what it shows you.

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

ok

#

#

i need to turn in the game tomorrow

#

and i have no time

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

What type is boss prefab?

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

im going to work in an hour

#

untill 3 am

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

It should be type Boss

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

and i need it done by tomorrow at 5.30 pm

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

untold walrus It should be type Boss

how do i check

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

Look where you've declared it

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:17 PM

#

public Boss boss;

#

ok, thank you so much 🙂

#

i will work on it after as well

#

dont worry

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:18 PM

#

untold walrus Look where you've declared it

do you mean that?
public Boss boss; ?

#

that line is on WaveSpawner

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:18 PM

#

boreal notch do you mean that? ``public Boss boss; ``?

Why isn't it called boss in your Instantiate?

#

What is a bossPrefab?

#

It's got to be type Boss

#

to use Boss' methods

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:19 PM

#

i can do

#

``public void SpawnBoss()
{
var bossInstace = Instantiate(bossPrefab, this.transform.position, this.transform.rotation);
boss.

#

then i get the methods

#

so boss.(what do i need here from the boss?)

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:20 PM

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:21 PM

Boss Instace;

boreal notch ``Boss Instace;``

Hint: Don't use the explicit variable name Instance unless it's referring to a Singleton, you'll confuse everyone. 😉

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

boss.spawner.this;

#

gives me an error

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:23 PM

#

Look at the code I provided.

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:24 PM

#

uhm

"GameObject does not contain a definition for spawner

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:25 PM

#

?

#

im sorry if i dont understand you

#

:/

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:26 PM

#

untold walrus

Do what I did here...

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:26 PM

#

i cant do Boss;

#

it needs a name

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:26 PM

#

GameObject does not mean that is a prefab.. it's just saying to not let you use any methods or function from the prefab with your cached instance because you don't care or need them..

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:26 PM

#

and the name is Instance

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:27 PM

#

Dude remove GameObject

#

Stop fighting this

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:27 PM

#

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:27 PM

#

Boss bossPrefab

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:27 PM

#

1 sec

#

okkkkkkkkkk

#

no error now

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:28 PM

#

Spawner should be set now and the bool will work now

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:28 PM

#

still no

#

Boss died

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:29 PM

#

boreal notch Boss died

this is the instance

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:29 PM

#

Well if you've cached the instance created by the prefab..

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:29 PM

#

of game manager

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:29 PM

#

Well.. remember that you're immediately setting it to false

#

So it's supposed to be false

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:29 PM

#

this is the prefab

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:30 PM

#

But look at the logs

#

You're just needing it to print boss is dead

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:30 PM

#

it cant do it

#

since

#

the instance of spawner says bossDead = false

#

the prefab of spawner says bossDead = true

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:31 PM

#

Did you save?

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:31 PM

#

yes

#

the instance does not update Only bossDead

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:31 PM

#

When you instantiated the boss you set it's reference of spawner to that of the instance in scene.

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:31 PM

#

it does update EndWave

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:32 PM

#

It should represent the spawner in scene and not reflect on the prefab now

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:32 PM

#

untold walrus When you instantiated the boss you set it's reference of spawner to that of the ...

talk to me in code

#

since it will lead us to a loop

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:32 PM

#

Changing the bool would occur on the instance now

#

I'm not going to do that, I'm on mobile and don't feel like coding everything.

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:33 PM

#

ok

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:33 PM

#

Show your spawn method

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:33 PM

#

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

So the boss is correctly referencing the scene object.

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

i guess

#

what is that?

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:35 PM

#

You can test this by calling boss.name before setting the bool to true

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:35 PM

#

its on the WaveSpawner in inpector

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:35 PM

#

So you had an error

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:35 PM

#

i didnt have errors

untold walrus Sep 7, 2022, 1:35 PM

#

Drag the boss prefab into it

#

It occurred when you changed the type as expected

#

Thought you fixed it on your own

boreal notch Sep 7, 2022, 1:36 PM

#

it works 🙂

#

thank you so much for the patiance
