I want to place objects at random locations within the bounds of a detected plane via a Spawner script. My problem is that I am not being able to figure out a way to make sure that the locations from where the objects are spawned always takes place at any random location within the detected plane surface.
For eg) If I scan a ground plane I want game objects to spawn on that ground plane
How can I utilize the WorldInterpreter script and the Floor game object to do so?
My Spawner Script -
public class Spawner : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField]
private GameObject myPrefab;
public float minWait;
public float maxWait;
public float offset = 3;
private bool isSpawning;
void Awake()
{
isSpawning = false;
}
void Update()
{
if (!isSpawning)
{
float timer = Random.Range(minWait, maxWait);
Invoke("SpawnObject", timer);
isSpawning = true;
}
}
void SpawnObject()
{
float randX = Random.Range(-offset,offset);
float randZ = Random.Range(-offset,offset);
Instantiate(myPrefab,new Vector3(randX,transform.position.y,randZ),Quaternion.identity);
isSpawning = false;
}
}
- In the Project window, copy Packages / Litho Beta SDK / Core / Prefabs / AR / ARPlane into your Assets folder - let’s call this copy Assets / SpawnerARPlane
- In the Hierarchy window, select ARSessionOrigin
- In the Inspector window, look for the component AR Plane Manager on the ARSessionOrigin object - this will have a Plane Prefab variable
- Drag your new SpawnerARPlane prefab from the Project window to the Inspector window, and drop it into the Plane Prefab field of the AR Plane Manager component
- From the Project window, open your new SpawnerARPlane prefab for editing by double-clicking it
- Attach your Spawner script to the SpawnerARPlane prefab using the “Add Component” button in the Inspector window
- Now when a plane is detected, SpawnerARPlane instances will be used to represent it, meaning each plane will also now have the Spawner script attached to it, and hence will start spawning objects on itself.
- To ensure the spawned objects only appear within the bounds of the AR plane, you can use 
- Note that it is recommended that you don’t change any of the scripts provided in the Litho Beta SDK package (e.g. WorldInterpreter) - they are accessible for modification, however any changes you do make may cause future package updates to break your project (as your code modifications will get replaced by the code in the updated package).
