Changing position of gameObjects in unity by C# script

This method is useful when you want to move your gameObject to particular position so this method directly move your gameObject to given position. using System . Collections ; using System . Collections . Generic ; using UnityEngine ; public class test : MonoBehaviour { // Start is called before the first frame update void Start () { transform . Translate ( 1,1,1 );// change position to 1,1,1 } } By calling this method you have to enter x, y, and z coordinate in Translate method as seen above in code example transform .

Generic ; using UnityEngine ; public class test : MonoBehaviour { private GameObject player; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start () { player = GameObject . Find ( "main_character" ); Debug . Log ( player ); } } In this example code we have declare a private GameObject and then we assign it by calling find() method. if there is exact same name gameObject in hierarchy then it assign and show name in debug message or otherwise show a null message. GameObject . Find ( "main_character" ); whatever string we pass in Find() method should be same means upper case, lower case or even spaces between

WaitForSeconds and coroutine in unity | delaying a code action for some time in C#

If you want to delay a code for few seconds in C# then you can use coroutine in unity. There are two methods of doing this - WaitForSeconds() method For creating a delay you first need to create a function of IEnumerator type and you can call it inside StartCoroutine() method when you want delay. let's see an example code using UnityEngine ; public class test : MonoBehaviour { void Start () { StartCoroutine ( Wait_Example ()); } IEnumerator Wait_Example () { Debug . Log ( 0 );//run as soon as function run yield return new WaitForSeconds ( 4 ); Debug . Log ( "4" );// run after 4 seconds } } In above example we have declare a function Wait_Example(). yield return new WaitForSeconds ( 4 ); this code will pause code written after it. Debug . Log ( "4" ); run after time passed written in WaitForSeconds() function. code written before WaitForSeconds() execute as soon as function

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
