Instantiate inside custom action?

[SimsureParticipant]

My enemy, when it is close to the player, makes appear another object, so I used a custom action in the IA, in the Memory of the IA I set a variable as GameObject called “instrument” and I put the object that is to appear, then the custom action there is only this code.

import RAIN.Action;
import RAIN.Core;
@RAINAction
class attack_enemy extends RAIN.Action.RAINAction
{
    function Start(ai:RAIN.Core.AI):void
	{
        super.Start(ai);
Instantiate(instrument,Vector3(transform.position.x+2, transform.position.y -9, transform.position.z-10) , transform.rotation);
	}
    function Execute(ai:RAIN.Core.AI):ActionResult
	{
        return ActionResult.SUCCESS;
	}
	function Stop(ai:RAIN.Core.AI):void
	{
        super.Stop(ai);
	}
}

But it gives me error

Unknown identifier: “Instantiate”

Instantiate is a method of UnityEngine.Object class - which is parent of MonoBehaviour, and RAINAction is not a child of MonoBehaviour or any of Unity classes, so you can’t use Instantiate in it.

But you can use it in following way: UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate, because it’s public static method

ok now works, thanks.
But to call the variable that I set in “memory” I have to use this code right?

AI.WorkingMemory.GetItem

Then I did something like that.

var instrument: GameObject;
instrument = ai.WorkingMemory.GetItem<GameObject>("instrument ");

But he says

Assets / AI / Actions / enemy_attack.js (13,53): BCE0164: Can not infer generic arguments for method ‘RAIN.Memory.RAINMemory.GetItem. <T> (String)’. Provide stronger type information through arguments, or Explicitly been the generic arguments.

I believe the proper js syntax is

instrument = ai.WorkingMemory.GetItem.<GameObject>("instrument");

It gave me the error as ” transform” , I thought it was the same problem as before and I tried to solve it this way, I was right ?

I do not think because nothing happens during the game !

UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate(instrument,Vector3(UnityEngine.Object.transform.position.x+2, UnityEngine.Object.transform.position.y -9, UnityEngine.Object.transform.position.z-10) , UnityEngine.Object.transform.rotation);

You want something more like this:

UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate(instrument,Vector3(ai.Body.transform.position.x + 2, ai.Body.transform.position.y - 9, ai.Body.transform.position.z - 10) , ai.Body.transform.rotation);
