Instantiate.

Example (from the documentation):

 var prefab : Transform;
 Instantiate (prefab, Vector3(x, y, z), Quaternion.identity);

Ok, thanks. Also, how can I find the location and rotation of another game object?

GameObject.Find("NameOfOtherObject").transform.rotation

Same with position.

Ok, Thanks. Unity just lost a couple of my prefabs, so I have no idea if any of this will work, but I am guessing it will.
