Instantiate a gameObject and give it a name-CodePudding

I would like to Instantiate a gameObject and give it a specific name in the hierarchy, because it gives by default "gameObject(clone)", but I would like to know if there is a way to make it name the spawned object just "gameObject" and not "gameObject(clone)". Thank you

CodePudding user response：

You can create an extension method that clones an object and then sets the name of the clone to match the name of the original object.

using UnityEngine;

public static class ObjectExtensions
{
    public static TObject Instantiate<TObject>(this TObject original) where TObject : Object
    {
        TObject result = Object.Instantiate(original);
        result.name = original.name;
        return result;
    }
}

Usage:

GameObject clone = gameObject.Instantiate();

You can assign the instantiate Prefab to a game object and then change the name of the game object.

Here is a sample code

my_spawned=Instantiate(prefab,transform.position,Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
my_spawned.name="Myobject";
