How do I activate a gameObject from a prefab?

[grimmy]

I can't for the life of me figure this out. I've tried doing a 'Find' with another gameobject and then storing that as a global variable..but then I still get the reference error when I do this.

So, how can I activate an object from a prefab?

Once you store the gameobject just use the Activate Game Object action.

This works but I have an setup error on my prefab which wont ever go away telling be that I shouldn't reference scene objects.

Should I just ignore the error?

You have to create the object in the scene first. objects in the project hierarchy don't exist yet and therefore can't do anything to affect the scene.
