How to find then create prefab in scene

[bkups2003]

Hello,

I'm having trouble trying to create an object from a prefab. I have the string of a prefab that needs to be instantiated and tried to use "find game object" to store it to a variable so I can create it.  The problem I'm having is it can never find it unless I add it to the scene first. (because it searches for game objects and not prefabs?). Could anyone tell me how I can find the prefab and store it in a variable using a string of its name?

Hi,

 "Find" only works within your scene hierarchy, not within your assets.

 For this, you need to use "load resource" custom action:
