Character Saving

I'm currently doing test on character saving... but none of mine seem to work... I read in other question saving it to a prefab. Could someone explain how i should do so?

The Manual explain the basics very good ;)

  1. Choose Assets->Create->Prefab from the menu bar and name your new Prefab.
  2. In Hierarchy View, select the GameObject you wish to make into a Prefab.
  3. Drag & drop the GameObject from the Hierarchy onto the new Prefab in Project View.
