I’m having trouble instantiating a prefab at runtime. I tried to use this code to do instantiation.
GameObject spherePrefab;
spherePrefab = GameObject.Instantiate(Resources.Load(“spherePrefab”));
print(Instantiate(Resources.Load(“spherePrefab”)));
and got this error
Cannot implicitly convert type UnityEngine.Object' to UnityEngine.GameObject’. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)
how can I instantiate prefabs on the fly??, thanks for any help in advance! 
and this line
spherePrefab = GameObject.Instantiate(Resources.Load(“spherePrefab”));
in the " ", there is no space in between spherePrefab, I don’t know why it is spacing but I could not edit it 
can you just set it as a variable then instantiate it?
No, because this character will be instantiated at run time and then it will instantiate spherePrefab during the game. I could only set this in code not in inspector.
You’re missing an as:
spherePrefab = GameObject.Instantiate(Resources.Load(“spherePrefab”)) as GameObject;
how silly of me to forget this
thanks a lot Izitmee, I’ve got it worked
