Can't assign instantiated object to a variable

Questions & Answers

I’m trying to assign an instantiated object to a variable to be used in other parts of the script:

   GameObject go;

   GameObject go = Instantiate(circlePrefabs*, NewPositions[randomIndex],*

Quaternion.indentity) as GameObject;

go = go.gameObject;
But it nevers assigns it, go stays null and Unity even warns me that it will always have its default value. What’s going on here??
Edit: Renamed the variable, that seemed to fix it

Well, go is a GameObject, so I am not sure what you are trying to access whith “go.gameObject”

If you do

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

you will get your GameObject in go, if you do Debug.Log(go.name); You should have the correct name.

Also, you don’t need to cast a Gameobject as a GameObject, not repear the variable type. You could simplify your code by doing something like this :

GameObject go = Instantiate(circlePrefabs*, NewPositions[randomIndex],*

Quaternion.indentity);
