how to add prefab to gameobject?
I'm trying to have 'foundation' as a child of 'empty' but with my code it doesn't do that but it also gives no errors, what am I doing wrong?
public List<GameObject> foundations = new List<GameObject>();
public List<GameObject> levels = new List<GameObject>();
public List<GameObject> roofs = new List<GameObject>();
public BuildSystem buildSystem;
GameObject empty;
private int x = 0;
public void CreateNewBuilding()
{
x++;
empty = new GameObject("Building" + x);
}
public void StopBuilding()
{
Destroy(empty);
x--;
}
public void AddFoundation(GameObject foundation)
{
foundations.Add(foundation);
buildSystem.NewBuild(foundation);
foundation.transform.SetParent(empty.transform);
}
Try to use transform.SetParent(wantedParent), store the new foundation that was instanced and after spawn assign the parent to it. hope it helps.

I don't understand what you are saying. Right now I'm using foundation.transform.SetParent(empty.transform) if I use foundation.transform.SetParent(empty) there is an error because empty is a gameobject.
Well then idk why it doesn't work. Maybe u forgot somth in code or forgot to set references
A comment -- instead of new GameObject it's almost always better to Instantiate a prefeb. Even for an empty you probably want it set to a different layer, and want a script on it at (at least a data-only script). You can do that in code, but a prefab makes it easier.
As far as setting a parent, any way works. If G is a gameObject and Empty is another, then
G.transform.parent=Empty.transform; is fine or
G.transform.SetParent(Empty.transform); or when you Instantiate G use the option to set a parent. I've used them all and they're the same. If there's a problem it's something else. Look at the errors -- is it saying something is null? Maybe foundation isn't being created?
