    using UnityEngine;
    using System.Collections;

    public class SpawnController : MonoBehaviour
    {
    public GameObject BlueSquare;

    void start()
    {
    StartCoroutine(SquareSpawn());
    }

    IEnumerator SquareSpawn()
    {
    while (true)
    {
    Instantiate(BlueSquare, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(2);
    }
    }


    }

    There is no error but when I click save and open unity beside the script shouldn't there be a little tab to allow me to assign a prefab to spawn?
    because It's not showing one and in the tutorial I followed it did for the teacher :S

    Did you attach the script to a real GameObject in your scene?

    You can set the prefab only if the script it is attached as a component to an existing game object.
