How to add objects to a scene via button click

Question

I'd like to know how to use a button click to bring objects to the scene. Should I create the objects in a separate scene, say scene 1? Create a button in scene 2 and then when the button is clicked the object/s appear.

Make a prefab, to do this drag the object in your hierachy to your assets. And as scripting:

 var object1 : prefab
 var myposition : GameObject;
 
 function OnGUI ()
 {
         if (GUI.Button(Rect(10,10,100,100),"Button name"))
            {
                  Instantiate(object1, myposition.transform.position, myposition.transform.rotation)
             }
 }

And in the inspector assing the variables

Thanks $$anonymous$$irkobon! I'd just been looking at the tutorials on youtube for prefabs but they were more to do with spawning objects for shooter games etc. I'll try this out.

Add a semicolon to the end of the prefab declaration. $$anonymous$$G. var object1 : prefab;

Technically, you could do that I guess... But what you're really wanting is to Instantiate an object:
