Unity's Instantiate Broken On OUYA?

Voporak5 · August 2013

I've been having a problem for a week now where I hold my buttons on the controller to instantiate stuff at a location and sometimes my "bullets" are made where I want them to, but sometimes they are also made farther down along the Z axis. I made a separate script for testing on my comp. and instantiating my bullets works exactly how I wanted to. I originally was having the same problem on both the Ouya and my Comp, but then someone suggested I should 0 out all points of position in my prefabs. That fixed the problem on my Comp and for a little while it seemed to have fixed it on the Ouya but then I just noticed just now it was breaking again on the Ouya and at first it was occasionally but now it's happening constantly.

Anyways my question is, Does the Ouya affect the way Unity's Instantiate operate?

That's all Unity API. OUYA won't affect that.

GameObject go = Object.Instantiate(prefab, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);

go.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;

or

go.transform.position = Vector3.zero;

or

go.transform.parent = null;

This has to be a logic problem in your code.

Unity's instantiate works just fine on OUYA. It must be a problem in your code.

I did have a problem, perplexing problem with bullets. And it was because of the physics around the player and the bullet. I'd fire a bullet and it would disappear or start in an odd place. Hmmm I wondered. Later to realize oh yeah the point of origin of the bullet was touching the player. And when those physics boundaries touch the collision callback is hit and the bullet was destroyed. I eventually placed the bullet in a position that wasn't touching the player and it would fire correctly. Later I added tags and collision masks so that the player that fires and the bullet fired by the player could never touch. There were some other issues like having a rigidbody on the player and a rigidbody on the bullet caused the player to push the bullet down, so I eventually got rid of the rigidbodies.

Hope that helps.

Howdy, Stranger!
