Spawning Objects in Unity without the Clutter

Enemies cluttering the hierarchy

This is a quick follow-up to my last article on coroutines just to show how I declutter my hierarchy when instantiating enemies with my SpawnManager.

First I created an empty gameobject and named it Enemy_Container.

Empty GameObject named Enemy_Container

Now in my SpawnManager script I created a private Transform variable named _enemyContainer and serialized the field.

Now I click my Spawn_Manager and drag the Enemy_Container gameobject into my serialized field on the SpawnManager script.

In my SpawnManager script after instantiating the newEnemy in my SpawnRoutine coroutine I add a line that sets this newEnemy’s transform parent to be the enemyContainer

How it looks with the new line that changes the transform parent

Now when enemies are spawned they go directly inside the Enemy_Container in the hierarchy instead of cluttering it up.
