Cloud Spawning System in Unity (Instantiate Random floating prefabs) | Game dev Tutorial

[@MichelleMassaMCM]

I was looking for hours for a tutorial like this. This helped me SO MUCH. Thank you!

[@LostRelicGames]

I hope you enjoy this tutorial! I appreciate every single like and comment, It really helps to keep this channel going and spread the knowledge. Don't forget to swing by the discord if you want to chat! :) discord.gg/yeTuU53

[@thewiredspider9660]

I love this video! I put a bit of random color and opacity into mine to give it even more variance. The clouds make the game feel so much more alive. Thank you!

[@王殊-p9f]

Really good video!!! During I am watching, I was thinking about how about add some random and then the video shown add random things into the functions!!! That makes a lot different and more interesting!!! Really Great!!!

[@soundhunter4349]

Thank you very much! I have started my first project in Unity and this is the first thing I decided to do. I spent about 3 days watching this tutorial and learning every word used here to realize everything properly. Finally I did it! It was really interesting, I got to know about lots of things, you helped me a lot!

[@games2play502]

Great tutorial this is a much better way than my way so ill use your code for my game also i have just subscribed to your channel, keep up the good work:)

[@synchaoz]

This is great! I will find a way to use this as part of a gore effect, just you wait and see.

[@VedoHT]

Thanks for the tutorial, helped a Brazilian who wants to implement this market more and more here, thanks again.

[@hydrahung7156]

I don't know why you only have this much sub. Your videos are awesome mate

[@LostRelicGames]

Hey thanks! Hopefully the youtube algorithm will cut me some slack! :)

[@brunosoares6717]

for those who want to make the generator follow the player here is what I did: I attach the cloud generator to my Virtualcamera, but it can be anything that follows the player without flip, then I just chance the StartPos to update or fixedupdate instead of Start and it's done =)

[@elwin1283]

Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@jackyb2837]

i cant see the override button at all? any ideas? its at 3:18

[@mitchellmacpherson4052]

Dude, thank you so much. This helped alot!

[@CallTheFknSparky]

Rather than putting another invoke in the function use InvokeRepeating heres a little example InvokeRepeating("SpawnCloud", 1f, spawninterval); ^ That is when it starts so it starts calling after 1 second then it repeats every spawn interval

[@MegaJHONDY]

pretty awesome

[@yvesgingras1475]

Quick question: Would it not be better to make a particule system instead? And combining the different textures of cloud into one sprite? I dont want to bash or anything this is a leggit question, I wonder wich one would bring the bet result for the lowest performance cost

[@coreysonofander]

3:05 "Ship it!" Ha ha ha!

[@oliverj2635]

I'm doing everything you say but it still doesn't work :( NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object CloudGeneratorScript.SpawnCloud (UnityEngine.Vector3 startPos) (at Assets/Scripts/CloudGeneratorScript.cs:41) CloudGeneratorScript.Prewarm () (at Assets/Scripts/CloudGeneratorScript.cs:59) CloudGeneratorScript.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/CloudGeneratorScript.cs:22)

[@fabsze7857]

hmm I'm facing the exact same problem

[@kayaltamira]

@@fabsze7857 heya... did you ever got this fixed? I started to do this now and I have the same problem. I did everything he said to the T and I even tried to fix this problem with .find code, changing the name of my script, then re-linking it and nothing. Is driving me mad. I've done the tutorial twice, getting the same Null results. Any help would be much appreciated x

[@MertAliBarlas]

it's working but, when I attach this CloudGenerator prefab to my camera its disappearing and the positions of each cloud prefab is not relative to camera. How can we fix this ? Thanks.

[@jannahilario314]

Hii, can you help me? I'm getting this error in endPoint saying that it does not contain the definition for transform. What to do? 😢

[@mohamedmusamustafa3324]

I have a problem where if my camera goes into the right direction, the clouds stop appearing and if i go fast enough they wont be there.

[@MertAliBarlas]

same

[@omaewa5073]

Khal Drogo is teaching me how to make clouds in unity ;))))

[@finfondler998]

Is it possible to create a randomly generating scene and have it running as a webpage? Very noobish question I'm sorry but I just had an idea from this video.

[@TwistdRabbit]

Hey, having some issues with this one, from the minute i opened the project i have an error in unity "Assets\CloudGeneratorScript.cs(42,28): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'CloudScript' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) This was replaced after i added the CloudScript file from the video with "Assets\CloudGeneratorScript.cs(42,43): error CS1061: 'CloudScript' does not contain a definition for 'StarFloating' and no accessible extension method 'StarFloating' accepting a first argument of type 'CloudScript' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Moving back to unity after entering the cloudscript.cs code i cant play the scene I assume i will enter the information to fix this error as the video continues but i have managed to get as far as deleting the extra 3 clouds and now cant copy the component, the option is greyed out. Any help would be great.

[@MistaWind]

Awesome tutorial! :D Have you ever tried to make a mini replica Castle Crashers games? Not a full game of course but, like a one map 2.5D scroller with attacking and up down left right movement?

[@LostRelicGames]

hey thanks! I actually love the side scrolling brawler genre. I did some hobby things with it years ago, but i' love to revisit it!

[@MistaWind]

@@LostRelicGames I'd love to learn from it! :D You should do courses on Udemy if you haven't already!

[@MistyWings]

Hey! Just wondering if anyone was having trouble with some of the prewarmed clouds not moving? It's not all of them, but it's very noticeable.

[@fabian6739]

Great tutorial! Just one question, how would I make the generator spawn clouds in a group? I want the clouds to spawn inside of a clouds gameobject so its visible on my canvas.

[@fahdali5330]

Good job, keep post the good stuff.

[@LostRelicGames]

Thank you man

[@jaskarnjass8548]

Awesome, well explained.

[@LostRelicGames]

Thanks JJ!

[@model2k204]

For some reason its not detecting my endpoint properly keep deleting it at a weird point

[@Kingizeekiel]

I have an issue where only 1 cloud will spawn ever, any help?

[@flyssa8211]

Hello, can i use this to... say, make an asteroid belt on a topdown space shooter?

[@LostRelicGames]

Absolutely, for top down you h would simply change the movement direction, should be one line of code. If you run into any issue swing by the discord and I'll help you out! :)

[@fatmarajab114]

Really helpful tutorial... I have most of it working but I'm coming across 2 problems.. 1. My clouds are still all spawning on the same y value, even though I've tried varying the y displacement by about 100 2. When running the prewarm, all the spawned clouds are at the cloud generator point and not spawning across the scene I have a fairly large 2d scene which could be the cause of these issues, but I would really appreciate an expert opinion...

[@Offline1988]

many many many thx!

[@StigDesign]

Great video as allways :D btw i can help you with Rune Text in that Viking game(Am from Norway so am a Viking hehe) :) Loved the 10/10 ign Refrence XD althoe its usually only COD that gets 10/10 ;D

[@ChristianOrthodox]

thanks

[@Thebaker3]

Can i use this for a 3d game ?

[@verofero]

wow..very nice

[@LostRelicGames]

Thanks Ahmed! Glad you like it.

[@jakobpriebe2393]

thanks bro

[@LostRelicGames]

my pleasure man

[@Saumler]

Thank you very much I worked great, but as much as I try I can not make them born from a point as a child, for example as children cloud generator.

[@Saumler]

Fix it pretty quickly, but I'll leave it here if someone needs help. in SpawnCloud cloud.transform.parent = transform;

[@kajaplayer1866]

thanks bro
