How do you load a prefab with Resources.Load

It has also been asked a million times but the other examples I have seen don't seem to be of any help top me.

Code (CSharp):

1.     private static GameObject m_particlesMuzzleFlash = Resources.Load("MuzzleFlash") as GameObject;
2.  

MuzzleFlash is a prefab in the folder "PREFABS" under "Assets".

How do I load it? "PREFABS/MuzzleFlash" does not work. Unity is telling me that m_particlesMuzzleFlash is null when I try to instantiate.

 

To use Resources.Load, the object must be in a Resources folder (there can be multiple).

So your folder structure could look like "Assets/Resources/Prefabs/MuzzleFlash"

Then to load it use

Code (csharp):

1. Resources.Load("Prefabs/MuzzleFlash") as GameObject;

 

Hi!!

Just put a variable:

public GameObject muzzleFlashPrefab;

Inside the method that you crated for the MuzzleFlash you write:

void methodMuzzleFlash(){
var muzzleFlashPrefab = Resources.Load("Prefabs/MuzzleFlash") as GameObject;
var muzzleFlash = GameObject.Instantiate(muzzleFlashPrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
}
