Instance of prefab issue ??

[pmyn]

Hello, i have question about object Instantiate; I have following code :

for (int index = 0; index < Projectiles.Length; index++)
{
Projectiles[index] = (GameObject)Instantiate(Project, transform.position, transform.rotation);
Projectiles[index].SetActiveRecursively(false);
Projectiles[index].active = false;
}
When the projectile i shoot i active object :
Projectiles[index].SetActiveRecursively(true); Projectiles[index].active = true;
and when is colision with object i do :
Projectiles[index].SetActiveRecursively(false); Projectiles[index].active = false;

but in the scene on XNA all projectile is set active to false and i ahve big problem. Can you help me with this issue ?? In unity evrythink is okey.

So what you say is that the projectile is not activated when the activation code is run? And you say that it is the gameobject that is non-active, not just the rendering?

I will try to make a test scene that does the same as you are doing and see if I can spot the problem. Otherwise, if you can share your code I will be happy to take a look at it.

Projectile is visible and all work autonomus, diffrent speed etc itp. But when i SetRecursiveState(false) on one projectile, all particle for some millisecond blink but i invoke SetRecursiveState(false) on one projectile.
I resolve problem at night by ApplicationSettings.UseFallbackRendering = true; (no blink when deactivated) But when i change color on one projectile (renderer.material, renderer.sharedMaterial) all projectile change color.I post some code (and movie issue effect) when i come back to home. Otherwise great framework :)

Ok. I had the feeling that this could be a problem in the new renderer. Godd to know that the fallback renderer works at least. The shared material system is not quite done yet, so if you want to avoid the color change issue, you should set a new material for each projectile after the instantiate for the moment.

I have also OffTopic question : A variable autoDestruct on particle emmiters is work ?? I look in code :
if (destroy && autodestruct)
{

            Destroy(gameObject);
        }

autodestruct i set to true but destroy always false.

[fehaar]

destroy will be set in FixedUpdate if the Animator have had particles
and does not have any active anymore - as far as I can tell. So
autodestruct should run when the particle system is done - which will
usually only be the case for OneShot systems or if you shut down
emission in a script.

yeah, OneShots in set to true. Ok i will work with this, Thanks for answer .

[pmyn]

I see now Unity Exporter don't export OneShots Variable, so it must be set on script :)

[fehaar]

Yeah. It is one of the "internal" Unity variables that you cannot get
to in scripts, so we cannot export it. You should use the provided
script FFWD_EllipsoidParticleEmitter for exporting that value (and the
other hidden particle system values). Just attach it to the same
gameobject as your particle system and duplicate the values. Extremely
annoying - but better than remembering to do it in code all the time.

Really Thanks, i don't see before this exporters script ;) Sorry for take a time.
