child names of clone dont match model

if you can see in the attached image, i added 2 gameobj references to the script ‘Level_GUI’ on ‘MainCamera’. the gameobj’s are named ‘QuadShot’

Notice how the model (in the project view, with the yellow ring highlight) has children named ‘CannonBall1,2,3,4’ but the clone (visible in the hierarchy view) that is created in Level_GUI::Start() has 4 children named ‘CannonBall’

stuff like this is usually my fault - so im not calling it a bug yet, but i cant reason it out

When you clone / instantiate an object, Unity appends “(Clone)” at the end of the name. You can set the clones name when you instantiate the object:

Since i can’t determine your language, i start with C#:

// C#
public GameObject prefab;

// When you instantiate the prefab:
GameObject clone = (GameObject)Instantiate(prefab);
clone.name = prefab.name; // replace the name with the prefab name.

The same thing in UnityScript:

// UnityScript
var prefab : GameObject;

// When you instantiate the prefab:
var clone : GameObject = Instantiate(prefab);
clone.name = prefab.name; // replace the name with the prefab name.

Note: I used a GameObject reference for the prefab, but it works with Transform, Rigidbody or with any other attached component as well. So you might have to adjust this to your used type.
