How to Spawn Objects anywhere in Unity3D (and a bit of addressables)

Check out the Course: bit.ly/3i7lLtH
-------
In this video, I'll show you a few ways to spawn gameobjects wherever you want by clicking on the ground, then we'll take a look at the addressables system and talk about how you can use it to spawn your gameobjects as well. This is definitely a unity tutorial for beginners (other than the last few minutes), but it's exactly what I wish I would have had when I first started and was trying to spawn objects myself. If you're interested in instantiation or having a hard time with the unity instantiate calls, this video should help put you on the right path :)

[@alexchesser5209]

yeah - I'd really like to see a talk on addressable assets, and asset bundles

[@Unity3dCollege]

It's very high on my list now :) Addressables are really exciting imo, seems like an obvious route for big projects :)

[@JesusAmaTeMenino]

Yes, I was reading a lot about it in the past week. Super interesting stuff.

[@crabstar7312]

Thanks! I'm always learn something useful from your videos.

[@rickloyd8208]

Thanks for another video, just finished unit testing. To be honest the part with interfaces is a bit complicated to setup but at least I saw another justification to use interfaces, thanks! I will also try remember shortcuts to create properties and move classes to its own file automatically :)

[@123Billygoatman123]

I would also like to see more on addressables. Great video!

[@pavankumarm2969]

Awesome video.... Looking forward for tutorial video on addressables... Thank you

[@ErodonTV]

addressable saved my project , thanks bunch

[@spiral9316]

Hey addressables sounds very good definitely interested Thank you

[@michaelwieland3221]

That was a very helpfull video. Thank you

[@PhilllChabbb]

thank you saved my life!

[@rickloyd8208]

Thanks for awesome video tutorial! I spent half a year to fix all bugs which asset bundles has with loading and unloading resources (I mean real bugs from Unity) and now they (Unity) offers us to move to accessables or what ever it is. I tried to move from asset bundles as they were well advertised but I faced issues straight from the beginning and I gave up. After your video I will give it a second chance to impress me :)

[@Robber7]

Nice as usual! Play at 1.5x if you think hes too slow :D

[@F3L0]

I was about to write " I want this UI theme .." and at the same time you said " It's the Beta version " amazing

[@ScareFire]

That's why you gotta wait for people to finish their sentence before asking questions x] (no offence)

[@tanu3873]

Wouldn't mind a video on addressable that covers modding support or how to add DLCs to your game.

[@beaverjoe9171]

I just watched the noteKey yesterday and you start to use the new UI/UX interface on Unity

[@mosth8ed]

Thank you for using a dark theme. Saving my eyes. For the love of St. Peter though, please do the same with (Rider?). Everything I have is all a nice relaxing dark gray, and even with my monitors at < 10% brightness when you pull up your IDE it blasts my eyes. That being said, I would definitely be interested in a full Addressables video. I was considering using it in my ECS learning project.

[@jeffmoore6917]

They make certain glasses to cut down on the blue spectrum, which brings the shock value down a bit. Also, is it possible to tweak other settings other than just the brightness? Hoping that may help a bit with your experience.

[@BrainSlugs83]

Dark theme is harder on my eyes. I don't fully understand the appeal.

[@user-mq2ie1tu5r]

you are amazing i love atching you with my frindes and famely

[@kerrybrown1192]

Thanks for another great tutorial. Can you share the Rocket class that is used by the TypedRockedSpawner. Regards,

[@parthpandya008]

+1 for addressable in details

[@Sp1derFingers]

Yes do the addressable video. Thanks

[@IndieFist]

Have you used addressable for instance gameobjects previously baked with ligthmaps? and another question is about occlusion, would be occludee that item instanced with addreessable?

[@GameDevJosh]

Can you do a video on caching if you havent already? Very interested in seeing the benefits of doing this.

[@VaustXIII]

Benefits of caching: speed Disadvantages of caching: cache invalidation

[@gower1973]

That rocket looks suspiciously like the rocket that you make in the Grant Abbitt tutorial:)

[@fluffyluffy884]

Yes please do the addressable video

[@BrainSlugs83]

I'm really interested in Asset Bundling (did I understand right, that addressables can help enable that?), the documentation reads like really vague Greek to me, but my understanding is that I can reduce build time by putting assets into a bundle that is loaded at runtime and that I don't have to rebuild those assets every time I build my project. Is that right? Would love to learn more. (Seems like a bug in Unity to be frank though. Most compilers look and see if the compiled file is newer than the source and skip building it if it is. Unity seems to want to rebuild and rebake everything, even when nothing changes. Coming from a C# background, multi-minute build times feel ridiculous to me. But in Unity, some mobile developers, in the forums, complain about multi-hour build times. That's insane!)

I needed a good way to reference a set of at least 100 possible prefabs that can be intstantiated for my project. Resources.Load relies on string comparisons, AssetBundles are just clunky to work with, and storing all instances of the prefabs in memory for easy referencing is just a waste of memory, since they're not all going to be used at once. Addressables seem to be exactly the thing I've been looking for. Wish I've known about them sooner.

[@KenSchaefer67]

Thank you for the video. I seem to be setting up something wrong. My prefabs are appearing halfway in the cube: only the top half of the rocket is visible. What is the noob mistake that I am making here?

[@BrainSlugs83]

I think I'm going to switch to private serialized fields from now on; if I can't expose public properties to the editor, I can at least avoid public fields. Thanks for the tip.

[@andylockhart257]

Yea please on another video around addressables!

[@treasuredoasis4783]

Definitely addressables! Can you have a list of addressables and do stuff with it like instantiate a random one, or is that better to do with normal gameobject lists?

[@quentinturner3753]

This comment is needed!

[@freeju2001]

Jason the Unity Master is here! then No Fear! love ya Jason

[@Tymon0000]

cool lamp

[@antoinemaes]

I managed to make it work yesterday night, saved everything... aaaand it doesn't work anymore today (just by loading small project up). I get a NullReferenceException where the prefab is actually referenced... Even remade it completely, can't get it to work anymore ! Anyways, thanks for all the tutorials ! :)

[@Jestroo]

I shared it on Myspace

[@Ermelious]

Anyway to set AssetReference by code instead of in the inspector?

[@andrewm4815]

What if i want to instantiate an object but if the object already exists replace it for the new one on the default position?

[@astevezimm]

I'd be interested in a video on what you like about Rider over Visual Studio

[@mosth8ed]

I have been using Rider for about a year now. The short answer is pretty much everything. Give this a watch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX3IiaBnqMmknM0

[@astevezimm]

Thanks, I'll look into it

[@jasonbartlett1357]

I'm getting an "ArguementException: The Object you want to instantiate is null." Any thoughts?

[@samirehman4565]

make tutorial on trajectory please

[@djteogeo]

How do you define the type Rocket though?

[@carlabalos3884]

I don't understand how that happen too but I think it is a class.

[@suicidedeath3955]

Do you know how to spawn objects on its specific lane by push of a button? Example 3 lanes A, B, and C, player stands on lane B then press a button to spawn an object to in that specific lane which is lane B, if player stands on lane A, push a button then an object will now spawn on lane A.

[@Scarletraven87]

What if I wanna spawn them like in Tetris?

[@RDD87z]

i dont know how does unity know minirocket is a rocket object? . is there a parent "ROCKET" ??

[@amandos17]

How to spawn using a keyboard button ?

[@habibahmiah1693]

If someone has written the script please can they send it to me

Practice. Then practice some more. When you are done practicing, practice some more.
