Proper way of cloning gameobjects

[snow bramble]

i have a method where i place a cube at that position where i want duplicated object and it works

so i guess theres some problem with duplication

[fringe roost]

show whats happening instead

cause passing position should work fine

unless the position was wrong

Instantiate literally clones an object

[snow bramble]

it justs stays on default position

i mean the original position where is the object which i want to clone

[fringe roost]

send current !code

for (int x = -10; x <= 10; x++)
{
    if (x != 0)
    {
        bool placeTree = false;
        if (Math.Abs(x) > 5 && new System.Random().Next(3) == 0) placeTree = true;
        
        if (placeTree)
        {
            string[] trees = {"Oak_Tree", "Poplar_Tree"};
            GameObject tree = Instantiate(GameObject.Find(trees[new System.Random().Next(trees.Length)]));
            tree.transform.position = new Vector3(prevoffset + x, 1.5f, -z);
            tree.transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
        }
    }
}

[fringe roost]

so where is prevoffset and -z coming from

[snow bramble]

set those to 0 i am excited if it will work for you just on x axis

[fringe roost]

so you're only ever instantiating at 0 + i, in x?

[snow bramble]

for now yes

the variable is prepared for future content

[fringe roost]

I still don't see whats wrong

[snow bramble]

idk too that's why i am asking :D

[fringe roost]

can you show what is happening and where you want it instead

its hard to tell from here

make a vid , or screenshot with some lines

[snow bramble]

sure

hmm i figured out a better explanation

it sets the position as of now but it stays on origin position

but the position is set as i want

[fringe roost]

oh cause you werent updating it anywhere

so its solved?

[snow bramble]

no, its not

how can i update it?

[snow bramble]

and sorry, i didn't mean this rude

[fringe roost]

prevoffset = someValue

[snow bramble]

i mean the position of duplicated object is right

but it is displayed on origin position

[fringe roost]

wdym by that? maybe the pivots are whats wrong

[snow bramble]

the position of cloned object is right but it is displayed at the origin regardless setted position

[fringe roost]

wdym displayed at the origin

you still havent explained what that means

[snow bramble]

the position of object that i am trying to duplicate

[fringe roost]

that makes no sense

I dont see that assigned anywhere to tell the clone to spawn there

[snow bramble]

well its like display bug or smth

[fringe roost]

hows it a bug if you havent assigned it anywhere

[snow bramble]

wdym?

i assigned clone a position or not?

[fringe roost]

you assigned -10 to 10 on the x from the loop iterator

how that related to the object you want to clone

[snow bramble]

when prevoffset is 0 it should be -10

or?
