Issue with NavMesh and Instantiated NPC

The code below is attached to my NPC prefab that I am instantiating. The problem is, only the first instantiated npc goes on a patrol. The others just spawn and never move. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Code (CSharp):

1. public float patrolWaitTime = 5f;
2.     public float patrolSpeed = 2f;
3.     public Transform[] patrolWayPoints;
4.     private int curWaypoint = 0;
5.     private int maxWaypoint;
6.     public float minWayPointDistance = 0.1f;
7.  
8.  
9.     void Awake(){
10.         bones = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Bones");
11.         anim = bones.GetComponent<Animator> ();
12.         nm = bones.GetComponent<NavMeshAgent> ();
13.         maxWaypoint = patrolWayPoints.Length - 1;
14.     }
15.  
16.     // Use this for initialization
17.     void Start () {
18.         if (bones == null)
19.             Debug.Log ("Where is the enemy named Bones?");
20.         if (anim == null)
21.             Debug.Log ("Bones needs to have an Animator component");
22.         if (nm == null)
23.             Debug.Log ("Please attach the NavMeshAgent on Bones");
24.         player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Player");
25.         playerhealth = player.GetComponent<PlayerHealth> ();
26.         boltSpawn = GameObject.Find ("BoltSpawn");
27.  
28.     }
29.         void Update(){
30.          Patrolling ();
31. }
32.     void Patrolling(){
33.              
34.                 Vector3 tempLocalPosition;
35.                 Vector3 temWaypointPosition;
36.                 //Agents position
37.                 tempLocalPosition = transform.position;
38.                 tempLocalPosition.y = 0f;
39.                 //Current waypoints
40.                 temWaypointPosition = patrolWayPoints [curWaypoint].position;
41.                 temWaypointPosition.y = 0f;
42.                 //Is distance between the agent and the current waypoint within mid waypoint distance
43.                 if (Vector3.Distance (tempLocalPosition, temWaypointPosition) <= minWayPointDistance) {
44.                         if (curWaypoint == maxWaypoint)
45.                                 curWaypoint = 0;
46.                         else
47.                                 curWaypoint++;
48.                 }
49.                 nm.SetDestination (patrolWayPoints [curWaypoint].position);
50.                 nm.speed = patrolSpeed;
51.                 anim.SetFloat ("Speed", patrolSpeed);
52.         }

 

I'm probably wrong, but arent all the instances using the same navmesh?

If every prefab had its own navmesh, u'd just need to getcomponent<navmesh>() and set destination.

I didnt get the bones object tag. Whats that? Why not use prefabs own nm?

Maybe look into this?

 

Oh i think i got it now. The bones is probably a child in the prefab.

I think that if you remove the findgameobjectwithtag and use getcomponentinchild to find the nm, it will work.

You have more than one obj tagged bones, so it must be getting the first one always.

 

@honprovet
Thank you! You are absolutely right. Damn these little things..

Code (CSharp):

1. anim = GetComponentInChildren<Animator> ();
2. nm = GetComponentInChildren<NavMeshAgent> ();

 

Im glad i could help. Im still bad at this so i was unsure.
