This script makes a clone but the clone spawns far below the terrain. How can i fix this?

#pragma strict

var prefab : Transform;
	
function Update ()
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown("g"))
    {
	    for (var i : int = 0;i < 1; i++) 
	    {
		    Instantiate (prefab, Vector3(i * 2.0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity);
	    }
    }
}

You can take an empty game object and place that object to a position where do you want to instantiate an object clone.

#pragma strict
 
var prefab : Transform;
var refObject : GameObject;
 
function Update ()
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown("g"))
    {
        for (var i : int = 0;i < 1; i++) 
        {
            Instantiate (prefab, refObject.transform.position , Quaternion.identity);
        }
    }
}

Assign empty gameobject to refObject variable.
You can use this idea.
