Instantiating Sprites (93805)

[MrZalib]

I’m trying to use prefabs to instantiate a sprite for a basic shooting setup however MonoDevelop gives me the error:

“The name ‘playerShot’ does not exist in the current context”

Here is my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayerControl : ShipClass
{	

	void Start () 
	{
		//useless for now
	}
	

	void Update () 
	{
		if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire2")) 
		{
			Debug.Log ("Fire2 pressed!");
			Instantiate(playerShot);
		}
	}
}

Where playerShot in this case is the prefab that I have created. I think I’m having trouble getting my head around how a script handles a prefab so any help on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Put “playerShot” in quotes.

Instantiate(“playerShot”);
