Gameobject spawns at a weird position
Hey. Iam trying to spawn a gameobject as a child of another Gameobject (called Spawnpoint1)
The parent gameobject(Spawnpoint1) is at 15.4 , 0 , 4.9, the prefab is at 0-0-0 and when i spawn the prefab, it appears at -15.4 , 0 , -4.9 (negative values)
the spawn code looks like this:
(Instantiate (SpawnObjects[nav1Position], new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity) as GameObject).transform.parent = Spawnpoint1.transform;
how can i let it aper at the same position as the parent object? thanks!

When you child something to a parent, the child takes its current position (and other settings like rotation and all that), and no longer use the worlds location, it uses the parents location, so the numbers may be different, causing it to move in the world.
You could try using localPosition of that object, or manually setting the values.
