Declaration
public static Object InstantiatePrefab(Object assetComponentOrGameObject);
Parameters
| target | Prefab Asset to instantiate. |
| destinationScene | Scene to instantiate the Prefab in. |
Returns
Object The GameObject at the root of the Prefab.
Description
Instantiates the given Prefab in a given Scene.
This is similar to Instantiate but creates a Prefab connection to the Prefab. If you do not specify a Scene handle, the Prefab is instantiated in the active Scene.
Note: You should not Instantiate Prefabs from the OnValidate() or Awake() method. This is because the order in which GameObjects become awake is not deterministic, and therefore can result in unexpected behaviour. If you try this, Unity will generate a warning reading "SendMessage cannot be called during Awake, CheckConsistency, or OnValidate".
