Creating and Destroying GameObjects in unity

Creating GameObjects

Some Games Keeps normal object in game but some require addition gameObjects at runtime so you can simply create game objects in run time by calling Instantiate function which make copy of existing gameObject 

Example :-

public GameObject object; void Start() { for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { Instantiate(object); } }

It will create 5 gameObject as soon as you start game.

if object from which the copy is made doesn’t have to be present in the scene. It is more common to use a prefab dragged to a public variable from the Project panel in the editor. Also, instantiating a GameObject will copy all the Components present on the original.

Example:-

using UnityEngine; public class Example : MonoBehaviour { // Reference to the Prefab. Drag a Prefab into this field in the Inspector.
public GameObject myPrefab; // This script will simply instantiate the Prefab when the game starts. void Start() { // Instantiate at position (0, 0, 0) and zero rotation. Instantiate(myPrefab, new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity); } }

in new Vector3(0,0,0) at the place of 0 you can put the coordinate of the
place where you where you want to create GameObject;


Destroying GameObjects

function of destroying gameObject is
public static void Destroy(Object obj, float t = 0.0F);

Destroy function can be use with different types like

void DestroyGameObject()
    {
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
it will destroy the gameObject whatever it will reference


void DestroyScriptInstance()
    {
        // Removes this script instance from the game object
        Destroy(this);
    }
it will actually just destroy the script component that calls it rather than destroying the GameObject the script is attached to.


void DestroyComponent()
    {
        // Removes the rigidbody from the game object
        Destroy(GetComponent<Rigidbody>());
    }
If you just want to destroy a component from a gameObject just use above script


void DestroyObjectDelayed()
    {
        // Kills the game object in 5 seconds after loading the object
        Destroy(gameObject, 5);
    }
here first argument reference to gameObject and second will reference to time delay after how much time you want to destroy that gameObject

 You can change transform component of any gameobjects by manipulating mouse on any Gizmo axis or you can change values of transform component in inspector window. transform has the following tools. let's take a look  Move tool You can select move tool in toolbar or can select by pressing hotkey W.  At the center of Move Gizmo there are three small squares by dragging these square you can move gameObject along a plane and third axis remains constant. if you press shift key while dragging Move Gizmo squares will change to flat square. This flat square indicates that you can move gameObject in the direction scene view camera is facing.  For moving  to particular axis just drag any one of the axis that you want to change. Rotation tool While you select rotate tool or press hotkey E you will see spheres around gameObject and you can change rotation by dragging this sphere Gizmo. As with the Move Gizmo, the last axis you changed will be colored yellow. Think of the red, green and blue c

 In many cases in game we have to show count down timer. in this post i will explain how to create a timer which show a timer 3... 2.... 1.....  . so first create a simple basic gameObjects :- 1. Create a new scene in your unity project. 2. Create a UI text GameObject in your scene. as I have created and named as "timer text". and set text size, position, font, color of text etc according to you need. 3. Create a new C# script. I named it as "timer". always take care that your C# script name and class name should be same. 4. Create an other empty GameObject. I named it as "timer script". and attach C# timer script with it. 5. Now open timer C# script. Add UnityEngine.UI namespace so that we can use UI component and declare a text and float of name "timer_txt" and "t". You can use any name whatever you want. I just wrote these names so that you can understand which name i have used. 6.drag and drop timer text ui gameObject into it.   the

Collections ; using   System . Collections . Generic ; using   UnityEngine ; using   UnityEngine . UI ; public   class   test  :  MonoBehaviour {      public   GameObject  image_object;      public   Sprite  mySprite;      private   Image  myImage;      void   Start ()     {          myImage  =  image_object . GetComponent < Image >();          myImage . sp
