Ultimate Spawner


I bought this Asset to create some cool Wave / Horde Mode Gameplay. 
Compared to a Invector Asset it is clunky as hell but is works :-)

To make this work with another Asset, you have to tell the Spawner that a instantiated Prefab is Destroyed. This is done by:


SpawnableManager.informSpawnableDestroyed(gameObject, true);

So this should be called when your AI is dead. I tried several but i can't find the right place.
I tried the v_AIMotor in the CheckHealth after isDead=true.

This works, but it destroys the whole AIcharacter immediately after health is zero.

Aktually, i only want to inform the SpawnManager that the AI is Dead, not destroy the whole thing.



Another Problem is Instantianting the AI:
Whenever a AI is instantiated by the Spawner i get an Error:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Invector.v_AIAnimator.OnAnimatorMove () (at Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/Scripts/CharacterAI/v_AIAnimator.cs:59


This points to the Navmesh agent i think. Anyhow - it works. So i dont know whats the problem here.


I tried this with another AI Asset i own (Paragon Tactical AI). Works. But i cant see where's the difference.

Any help is VERY appreciated :-)

dreadlord, the second problem, i also had it with my spawner, i fixed it like this:

In your Invector-Enemy, in Animator, change Update Mode to Animate Physics.
That worked for me.

Here's the spawner script.

using UnityEngine;



public class EnemySpawner : MonoBehaviour

{

public int MaxEnemies = 5; // Max number of enemies.

private int teller = 0; // Current number of enemies.

public GameObject enemy; // The enemy prefab to be spawned.

public float spawnTime = 3f; // How long between each spawn.

public Transform[] spawnPoints; // An array of the spawn points this enemy can spawn from.





void Start ()

{

// Call the Spawn function after a delay of the spawnTime and then continue to call after the same amount of time.

InvokeRepeating ("Spawn", spawnTime, spawnTime);

}





void Spawn ()

{

// If all enemies are released...

if(teller >= MaxEnemies)

{

// ... exit the function.

return;

}



// Find a random index between zero and one less than the number of spawn points.

int spawnPointIndex = Random.Range (0, spawnPoints.Length);

teller += 1;



// Create an instance of the enemy prefab at the randomly selected spawn point's position and rotation.

Instantiate (enemy, spawnPoints[spawnPointIndex].position, spawnPoints[spawnPointIndex].rotation);

}

}

Here is another Spawn Manager..
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SpawnManager : MonoBehaviour
{

public int NumberofBots, ActiveBots;
public bool[] CurrentBots;
public GameObject[] SpawnPoints;
public GameObject[] AIPrefabs;

// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
SpawnPoints = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("SpawnPoints");
CurrentBots = new bool[SpawnPoints.Length];
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (ActiveBots < NumberofBots)
{
int i = Random.Range(0, SpawnPoints.Length);
if (CurrentBots == false)
{
CurrentBots = true;
GameObject tmpObject = (GameObject)Instantiate(AIPrefabs[Random.Range(0, AIPrefabs.Length)], SpawnPoints.transform.position, SpawnPoints.transform.rotation);
tmpObject.name = "BOT_" + i;
ActiveBots++;
}
}
}
}
