Help with Spawning a Prefab

So Im trying to spawn a bullet casing prefab next to my players gun here's the relevant code

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject bulletSpawn = (GameObject)Instantiate(bulletPrefab, bulletSpawn.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);

The only problem is that it spawns the bullet casing underneath my character(FPC)

bulletSpawn is a empty object in the intended position for the casing to be spawned
bulletPrefab is a prefab of the casing itself

anyone got any idea whats going on?

 

check the position of the prefab's transform (from the project), it needs to 0,0,0 otherwise it'll be instantiated at an offset

 

Wait. When you define the type (GameObject) of a variable it makes it local.
How do you use that variable bulletSpawn in instantiation function without getting an error about using unasigned local variable?

Rename your spawned object variable to something like this:

Code (csharp):

1. GameObject spawnedBullet =(GameObject)Instantiate(bulletPrefab, bulletSpawn.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);

 

Yea sorry my bad I was trying to change the code to get it to work and I forgot to put it back it should read:

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject bulletSpawn = (GameObject)Instantiate(bulletPrefab,transform.position, Quaternion.identity);

 

No joy Im afraid still spawns under the FPC

 

Thanks to everyone for the help, just figured it out there. for any one interested here's the correct code:

Code (CSharp):

1. Instantiate (bulletPrefab, GameObject.Find("bulletSpawn").transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
