Instantiated object, missing sprite, wrong layer.

Unity Engine
1 
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class RandomMinorities : MonoBehaviour {
    public GameObject speedBoost;
    public GameObject moneyCoin;

    void Awake() {
        GameObject.Instantiate(speedBoost, new Vector2(0, 0), Quaternion.identity);
    }
}

This very basic script doesn’t work as it should. I placed Prefab as speedBoost. Prefab has image in it, it’s a retro-coin downloaded from internet. But it only says “missing sprite”, as soon as I point it, I need to put it on layer higher than 10. Prefab already has image, can’t I make script inherit it? Also, how do I change layer of order of an object?

So, as soon as I point it to image AGAIN and I set it on layer more than 10. Then it’s visible.

is the speedBoost prefab in the Project folder?
If you drag it to scene from there, does it work?

Yes, it is, both image and prefab are in folder Asset.

As I mentioned, yes, if you re-point the image to the Instantiated object, and set layer to higher than a certain amount (it’s around 10, then it’s visible).

2022 and this issue is still happening.

We all know the date, unfortunately we don’t know what issue you’re referring to. Someone had a problem in 2015, it doesn’t mean there’s a bug in Unity.

Talking about 2015, please don’t necro posts, especially for unhelpful comments like this.

I had the Similar “Issue”, cause I tried changed order of layers multiple times (Even On Run Time). But found “Solution”, Dumb me forgot that I had the Element in the child while I was just changing parent’s Order.
