Assign an instantiated GameObject?

Questions & Answers

Hi Unity people, i’m pretty new to Unity. I’ve a little problem (language currently using = c#)… I’ve created a class with a public GameObject into it(Highlightable.cs inherited from MonoBehaviour). When i try to access to it by another script it seems to work but when i’m instantiating the GO. Here’s the code from another class:

GameObject go;
Transform casaAttuale;
Highlightable occupant;
for(int i=0;i<64;i++){
    occupant = casaAttuale.GetComponent< Highlightable >();
    if(-conditions-){
       go = Instantiate (-prefab-,-position-,-rotation-) as GameObject;
       //here we go
       occupant.occupant = go;
    }
}

occupant.occupant = go; doesn’t work 'cause i made it public to see it on the Inspector but is always empty…
Here’s another code that works instead:

void MoveHere(GameOBject newCasa){
   Highlightable some = newCasa.GetComponent< Highlightable >();
   -few lines of code-
   some.occupant = _selected; //_selected is a GO declared in this class
   -lines of code-
}

Why is this working and the other do not?
Any answers? (Thanks in advice)

this line

go = Instantiate (-prefab-,-position-,-rotation-) as GameObject;

will return you a GameObject type to ‘go’ only if ‘-prefab-’ is GameObject. methinks it is Transform in your case. so you can use

go = (Instantiate (-prefab-,-position-,-rotation-) as Transform).gameObject;

type of object in Instantiate method and type that this method returns are the same.
