Ok… I’ll go out on a limb and assume you don’t know what YouTube is…

public class SwapPrefabsWithButtonPress : MonoBehaviour
{
    // click and drag the prefabs into these slots in inspector
    public GameObject prefabOneIWishToSwap;
    public GameObject prefabTwoThatDoesTheSwapping;

    void Update()
    {
         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.space))
         { SwapThem(); }
    }

void SwapThem()
{
     if (prefabOneIWishToSwap.activeInHierarchy)
     { 
          prefabOneIWishToSwap.SetActive(false);
          prefabTwoThatDoesTheSwapping.SetActive(true);
          prefabTwoThatDoesTheSwapping.transform.position = Vector3.zero;
     }
     else
     {
          prefabOneIWishToSwap.SetActive(true);
          prefabTwoThatDoesTheSwapping.SetActive(false);
          prefabOneIWishToSwap.transform.position = Vector3.zero;
     }
}

And there you go, have fun pressing the space bar :slight_smile:
