My main character can move horizontally and not vertically. It can move from x = -4 to 4 and z = -4 to 4 (a square area). I don't want objects to spawn where my character can move but every where else.
I wrote the following script. According to me it should have worked perfectly fine. But, I can't figure out why the objects are still spawning in the perimeter where the main character is present.
public class SpawnGameObjects : MonoBehaviour
{
public float secondsBetweenSpawning = 0.1f;
public float xMinRange = -25.0f;
public float xMaxRange = 25.0f;
public float yMinRange = -5.0f;
public float yMaxRange = 0.0f;
public float zMinRange = -25.0f;
public float zMaxRange = 25.0f;
public GameObject[] spawnObjects; // what prefabs to spawn
private float nextSpawnTime;
void Start ()
{
// determine when to spawn the next object
nextSpawnTime = Time.time+secondsBetweenSpawning;
}
void Update ()
{
// exit if there is a game manager and the game is over
if (GameManager.gm) {
if (GameManager.gm.gameIsOver)
return;
}
// if time to spawn a new game object
if (Time.time >= nextSpawnTime) {
// Spawn the game object through function below
MakeThingToSpawn ();
// determine the next time to spawn the object
nextSpawnTime = Time.time+secondsBetweenSpawning;
}
}
void MakeThingToSpawn ()
{
Vector3 spawnPosition;
// get a random position between the specified ranges
spawnPosition.x = Random.Range (xMinRange, xMaxRange);
spawnPosition.y = Random.Range (yMinRange, yMaxRange);
spawnPosition.z = Random.Range (zMinRange, zMaxRange);
if ((spawnPosition.z < 4 && spawnPosition.z > -4) || (spawnPosition.x < 4 && spawnPosition.x > -4))
{
MakeThingToSpawn ();
}
// determine which object to spawn
int objectToSpawn = Random.Range (0, spawnObjects.Length);
// actually spawn the game object
GameObject spawnedObject = Instantiate (spawnObjects [objectToSpawn], spawnPosition, transform.rotation) as GameObject;
// make the parent the spawner so hierarchy doesn't get super messy
spawnedObject.transform.parent = gameObject.transform;
}
}
