How to Instantiate prefab as child? (Java)

Question

I am trying to Instantiate prefab (weapon) on a transform. This is script I found online but it doesn't work giving error:

 var Weapon1 = Instantiate(GunType, Weapon1Spawn.transform.localPosition, Weapon1Spawn.transform.localRotation);
 Weapon1.transform.parent = Weapon1Spawn.transform;

Error I get with that: alt text

When you instantiate the 4th argument is the parent, for example

Instantiate (prefab, position, rotation, parent transform);

in your case, that would be:

var Weapon1 = Instantiate(GunType, Weapon1Spawn.transform.localPosition, Weapon1Spawn.transform.localRotation, Weapon1Spawn.transform;);

Thank you, I think that moved me forward but now I am getting another error and I think it wants me to tell the local position in Vector3 and rotation on Quaternion. Would you know how to get these from local space? Error: alt text
