Just a simple question! please help!!!

So i have a simple question. I try to instantiate a prefab 5 times in the same place and something stupid happens the prefab gets spawned 9999++++ time and unity crashes. So the question! I do somethig wrong? or what? please help

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Test1 : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public Transform prefab;
7.     public int howManyTImes = 5;
8.  
9.     // Use this for initialization
10.     void Start () {
11.        
12.         for(int i  = 0; i < howManyTimes;  i++)
13.         {
14.             Instantiate(prefab);
15.                 }
16.    
17.     }
18.    
19.     // Update is called once per frame
20.     void Update ()
21.    
22.     {
23.  
24.     }
25.  
26. }

 

Does the prefab have this script attached to it as well? If so, then each one that is spawned then spawns more and more.

 

well yes it has the script attached...but this solved my proble seems that i was blind thank you for helping!

 

howManyTImes or howManyTimes...

 

well then that's your problem. your creating more prefabs that are creating more and more prefabs. this script needs to be attached to a empty game object, your prefab that your spewing can't have this script on

 

Yep thats the problem then. It is going like this.
1. spawn a new object.
2. spawn a new object and the other new object spawns a new object.
3. spawn a new object and the other new object spawns a new object and the other other new object spawns a new object.
and repeat. See the problem?

The best thing for you to do is attach the script to somthing else in the scene. Maybe the main camera or an empty gameObject. I would go with the empty gameObject

 

thank you guys i solved the problem!
