You have to use Instantiate overload and provide position and location of the instantiated object. Assuming emptyObject is a GameObject, you can use:

 Instantiate(clone, emptyObject.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);

If I understand you correctly, you now want to spawn your object at the location of the player. It should work just fine, if you put your Player position as the second argument, e.g. Player.transform.position (assu$$anonymous$$g Player is a GameObject).

 // Create an empty object in scene
 // Attach this script to any object in scene
 // See: emptyObject.transform.position, emptyObject.transform.rotation
 // Location and rotation are params 2 & 3 of Instantiate()
 
 var emptyObject : Transform; // Drag empty object here
 
 var drop = false;
 
 var clone : Transform; // Drag your clone obj here
 
 function Start() {
     drop = true;
 }
 
 function Update ()
 {
     
     if (drop)
     {
         Instantiate (clone, emptyObject.transform.position, emptyObject.transform.rotation); 
         
         drop = false;
         
     }
 }

Alright but what if there's instances for spawn points how do I get the items to spawn at the locations these spawn points are located at?

 public float spawnTime;
     private GameObject respawnPrefab;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         respawnPrefab = GameObject.Find("BallSpawnPoint");
         InvokeRepeating("BallSpawn", 0, spawnTime);
     }
     
     void BallSpawn () {
         var ball = Resources.Load("Ball");
         Instantiate(ball, respawnPrefab.GetComponent<Transform>().position, respawnPrefab.GetComponent <Transform>().rotation);
     }
