Instantiated clones arent behaving the same as the prefab

I have tried and changing the code doesn't do what I need. When i use Quaternion.identity, all of the object spawn parallel to the ground, while the manually placed prefabs in the scene are standing horizontally.

Seizure has given most of the answer. Just add a Quaternion variable, adjust the rotation from the Identity and then apply the variable.

 Vector3 myVector = // The direction I want to face
 Quaternion myRotation = Quaternion.Identity;
 myRotation.LookRotation(myVector);

Then use:

 Instantiate(tree1, new Vector3(randX,12.2f,randZ), myRotation);

trying this doesn't work for me either. the objects are instantiated, but do not rotate with the player like prefabs i have manually in the scene. i made a brief video showing the problem. please excuse my poor video editing skills.link text

here is my spawner code: using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; public class spawner : MonoBehaviour { public GameObject tree1; public GameObject tree2; public GameObject bush; public GameObject shrub; public GameObject rock1; public GameObject rock2; public GameObject stump; public GameObject grass; static float randX; static float randZ; static int minX = -94; static int minZ = -95; static int maxX = 54; static int maxZ = 52; static int i; static int maxTrees = 300; static int maxBushes = 100; static int maxShrubs = 100; static int maxRocks = 75; static int maxStumps = maxTrees/6; static int maxGrass = 600; // Use this for initialization void Start () { //trees for (i = 0; i < maxTrees; i++){ //tree1 randX = Random.Range(minX,maxX); randZ = Random.Range(minZ,maxZ); Instantiate(tree1, new Vector3(randX,12.2f,randZ), transform.rotation); //tree2 randX = Random.Range(minX,maxX); randZ = Random.Range(minZ,maxZ); Instantiate(tree2, new Vector3(randX,14.6f,randZ), transform.rotation); }//end trees //etc for each object }//end start // Update is called once per frame void Update () { }//end update }//end class

.

and here is the script i have attached to my player: using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

 [RequireComponent(typeof(CharacterController))]
 public class ballMove : MonoBehaviour {
 
     static Vector3 move;
     float speed = 10f;
     CharacterController controller;
     GameObject x;
     GameObject[] rotate_WithPlayer;
                 
     void Start () {
         controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
         rotate_WithPlayer = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("rotateWithPlayer");
     }//end start
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         move = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal"), 0f, Input.GetAxis ("Vertical"));
         move = transform.TransformDirection(move);
         controller.SimpleMove(move * speed * Time.deltaTime * 10);
         if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ey("space")){
             speed = 20f;
         }else{ 
             speed = 10f;
         }if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown("q")){
             //rotate tagged objects 90deg left
             foreach (GameObject x in rotate_WithPlayer){
                 x.transform.Rotate(0,-90,0,Space.World);
             }
         }if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown("e")){
             //rotate tagged objects 90deg right
             foreach (GameObject x in rotate_WithPlayer){
                 x.transform.Rotate(0,90,0,Space.World);
             }
         }
         
     }//update
         
 }//class
