I think i’m having trouble understanding what a list that stores GameObjects is, or what it exactly stores…

I was messing around and i tried creating a script that stores gameobjects and then brings them back. But i have no clue how to put them back into the scene. Im having trouble in the “Drop” function

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class GameObjectListTest : MonoBehaviour
{
    public List<GameObject> Inventory = new List<GameObject>();
    public GameObject TestCube;
    void Start(){
    }

    void Pickup(List<GameObject> inventorylist, GameObject item){
        inventorylist.Add(item);
        Destroy(item);
    }

    void Drop(List<GameObject> inventorylist, int index){
        if (inventorylist[index].name != null){

            //bring back the item into the scene, or make a replica of the item and put it onto the scene
        }
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab)){
            Pickup(Inventory, TestCube);
            Debug.Log(Inventory[0].name);
        }

        if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftAlt)){
            Drop(Inventory, 0);
            Debug.Log(Inventory[0]);
        }
    }
}

im kind of a newb, and i do not really understand what List stores…

Destroy() method removes the GameObject from the scene permanently. You should use item.SetActive(bool value).
