Creating new Sphere in Unity Android

Question

I'm creating a game in Unity 3D for android phones. Currently I'm using sphere as my main object. I just want to ask if how I could create another sphere in the scene once first ball is thrown and disappear. It just like another ball to shoot in basketball game.It will continue to have a sphere/ball until time is already zero. Thank you.

Answer 1

Have a look at Prefabs . You just need to create a prefab out of your GameObject and can then create new instances using the Instantiate

Answer 2

var sphere : GameObject = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Sphere); CreatePrimitive Documentation

If you don't want the basic sphere you'll have to Instantiate a prefab like Kay says in his Answer.

var prefab : Transform;
function OnTriggerEnter () {
    Instantiate (prefab);
}

Instantiate Documentation

Answer 3

You need to Instantiate the ball when you need a new ball. Following sample code might help you:

public GameObject ball;
bool isBallThrown;         //trigger that to true when ball is to be thrown 
void Update(){
     if(isBallThrown){
     Instantiate(ball,new Vector3(2,3,0),Quaternion.identity));
          isBallThrown=false;
     }
}   

Attach the sphere to ball GameObject..
