Instantiating prefab at child (spawnlocations are arrays)

Question

Hi,

I want to instantiate an object at one of my children.

So I've listed all my children in an array like this one: var array : Transform [] = new Transform[blabla];

Than I've put my children in the array like this: array[i] = transform.Find("All of my Children");

Don't mind the details on how I did this, it worked, and I've tested the children like this: array[0].Translate(Vector3.right);

The child was moving so it's in the array for sure;)

But now I want to instantiate a prefab at the position my children has (they are actually spawnpoints).

If I use this: Instantiate(prefab, array[0], Quaternion.identity);

it gives me an error:

Assets/Scripts/Game/SpawnLeft.js(30,20): BCE0023: No appropriate version of 'UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate' for the argument list '(UnityEngine.Transform, UnityEngine.Transform, UnityEngine.Quaternion)' was found.

So why is this not an appropriate version? The array is of type Transform.. so what's wrong?

you want to instantiate a gameobject, and your second entry is not a position but a transform.

Instantiate(gameObject, position, rotation) you are doing Instantiate(transform,transform,rotation);

when you get an error like that you can always check documentation for Instantiate and see that your argument list does not match the listed list under instantiate http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html
