Referencing imported assets

Questions & Answers
1

I have imported an object from blender, it has imported perfectly, the object is in unity and works as a character, however the name is blue in the hierarchy (it would be great if someone could tell me why, it might be related to my issue) and when I try to reference this object in a script as a game object it doesn’t work the script is as follows.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class cameraBehaviour : MonoBehaviour {

//Variables
public GameObject playerCharacter;
public Vector3 offset = new Vector3 (0, -6, 0);

void Start () {

}

void LateUpdate () {

	transform.position = playerCharacter.transform.position + offset;

}

}

Thanks for any help as always.

If the text is blue, the object is a prefab instance.
If it is grayed out (or light blueish), it’s disabled/inactive.

Two possible solutions:
First is make sure the object is enabled.
Secondly imported object’s transform anchor point/origin is set in blender, so maybe the transform of your character object isn’t where you think it is.
