Instantiating an empty with a script attached

Question

I have made an empty with a script attached into a prefab named Gameover. I then made a variable so that I could connect it to a script in the inspector. But when I try to instantiate it it throws this error:

Assets/Mouth.js(21,21): BCE0023: No appropriate version of 'UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate' for the argument list '(System.Type, UnityEngine.Vector3, UnityEngine.Quaternion)' was found.

This is the script trying to instantiate it:

var Gamover :GameObject; var pickedup :GameObject;

function Update () { }

function OnTriggerEnter(other:Collider){ if (other.name=="Bodypart"){

var bodyparts=(GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Bodypart")); for (var bodyparttodestroy : GameObject in bodyparts){ Destroy(bodyparttodestroy); } var turnpoints=(GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("TP")); for (var turnpointtodestroy : GameObject in turnpoints){ Destroy(turnpointtodestroy); } Instantiate (Gameover); // Game Over or Lives deducted

} if (other.name=="Pickup"){ }

Debug.Log(other.name); Instantiate(pickedup,other.transform.position,other.transform.rotation); Destroy(other.gameObject); if (other.name!="Terrain"){ }

}

This:

var Gamover :GameObject;

does not match this:

Instantiate (Gameover);

If it is going to be an empty game object with one script you could just do something like:

var g = new GameObject();
g.AddComponent("GameOverScript");
