Hi, i post a comment on the second video of the series of making a vampire survivior game.

In the part of making the chunks spawning infinite, im having a problem, as you can see in the image bellow, a download your own script and put on the “Map Controller” game object.

View post on imgur.com

But when i play the game, the chunks not spawing.

Can you help me, im probably doing something wrong

Thank you.

Hi Arthur, can you post your MapController script here and use ScreenToGif to record your screen when you are playing the game and moving the character around to try and spawn the chunks? Make sure you capture the Hierarchy window as well.

Hi, this is the MapController script:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class MapController : MonoBehaviour

    public float checkerRadius;

    public LayerMask terrainMask;
    public GameObject currentChunk;
    PlayerMovement pm;

    [Header("Optimization")]
    public List<GameObject> spawnedChunks;
    GameObject latestChunk;
    public float maxOpDist; //Must be greater than the length and width of the tilemap
    float opDist;
    float optimizerCooldown;
    public float optimizerCooldownDur;

    void ChunkChecker()

The SpawnChunk() does not seem to be firing. Let’s add the following lines into your MapController, then try moving around and see if any messages appear on your Console.

    void ChunkChecker()
    {
        if(!currentChunk)
        {
            return;
        }

        if (pm.moveDir.x > 0 && pm.moveDir.y == 0)
        {
            if (!Physics2D.OverlapCircle(player.transform.position + new Vector3(20, 0, 0), checkerRadius, terrainMask))
            {
                print("SpawnChunk right");
                noTerrainPosition = player.transform.position + new Vector3(20, 0, 0);  //Right
                SpawnChunk();
            }
        }
        else if (pm.moveDir.x < 0 && pm.moveDir.y == 0)
        {
            if (!Physics2D.OverlapCircle(player.transform.position + new Vector3(-20, 0, 0), checkerRadius, terrainMask))
            {
                print("SpawnChunk left");
                noTerrainPosition = player.transform.position + new Vector3(-20, 0, 0);    //Left
                SpawnChunk();
            }
        }
        else if (pm.moveDir.y > 0 && pm.moveDir.x == 0)
        {
            if (!Physics2D.OverlapCircle(player.transform.position + new Vector3(0, 20, 0), checkerRadius, terrainMask))
            {
                print("SpawnChunk up");
                noTerrainPosition = player.transform.position + new Vector3(0, 20, 0); //Up
                SpawnChunk();
            }
        }

                noTerrainPosition = player.transform.position + new Vector3(0, -20, 0);    //Down
                SpawnChunk();
            }
        }
        else if (pm.moveDir.x > 0 && pm.moveDir.y > 0)
        {
            if (!Physics2D.OverlapCircle(player.transform.position + new Vector3(20, 20, 0), checkerRadius, terrainMask))
            {
                print("SpawnChunk up right");
                noTerrainPosition = player.transform.position + new Vector3(20, 20, 0);   //Right up
                SpawnChunk();
            }
        }
        else if (pm.moveDir.x > 0 && pm.moveDir.y < 0)
        {
            if (!Physics2D.OverlapCircle(player.transform.position + new Vector3(20, -20, 0), checkerRadius, terrainMask))
            {
                print("SpawnChunk down right");
                noTerrainPosition = player.transform.position + new Vector3(20, -20, 0);  //Right down
                SpawnChunk();
            }
        }
        else if (pm.moveDir.x < 0 && pm.moveDir.y > 0)
        {
            if (!Physics2D.OverlapCircle(player.transform.position + new Vector3(-20, 20, 0), checkerRadius, terrainMask))
            {
                print("SpawnChunk up left");
                noTerrainPosition = player.transform.position + new Vector3(-20, 20, 0);  //Left up
                SpawnChunk();
            }
        }
        else if (pm.moveDir.x < 0 && pm.moveDir.y < 0)
        {
            if (!Physics2D.OverlapCircle(player.transform.position + new Vector3(-20, -20, 0), checkerRadius, terrainMask))
            {
                print("SpawnChunk down left");
                noTerrainPosition = player.transform.position + new Vector3(-20, -20, 0); //Left down
                SpawnChunk();
            }
        }
    }

Also, can you check if you have a trigger collider in each of your chunk prefabs?

Hi Terance!

I put your lines on the script and trigger the collider on the chunks prefabs, but still don´t work

the script looked like this:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class MapController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public List<GameObject> terrainChunks;
    public GameObject player;
    public float checkerRadius;
    public Vector3 noTerrainPosition;
    public LayerMask terrainMask;
    public GameObject currentChunk;
    PlayerMovement pm;

    [Header("Optimization")]
    public List<GameObject> spawnedChunks;
    GameObject latestChunk;
    public float maxOpDist; //Must be greater than the length and width of the tilemap
    float opDist;
    float optimizerCooldown;
    public float optimizerCooldownDur;

    void Start()
    {
        pm = FindObjectOfType<PlayerMovement>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        ChunkChecker();
        ChunkOptimzer();
    }

    void ChunkChecker()
    {
        if(!currentChunk)

Did you assign the Terrain Mask variable in the Map Controller component on the Inspector?
