Instantiate the object at that position. https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/scripting/instantiate

If it's a premade object, you make a public variable for it and assign it in the inspector. To get the empty gameobject's position, make a public variable for it as well and assign that in the inspector. So something like...

 public Transform SpawnPosition;
 public GameObject ObjectToCreate;
 
 void SpawnObject() {
     Instantiate(ObjectToCreate, SpawnPosition.position);
 }

@SlowCircuit This is not working for me : ( error CS1503: Argument 2: cannot convert from 'UnityEngine.Vector3' to 'UnityEngine.Transform'

it seems that you are feeding the transform directly instead of the position, put .position after the transform variable

sorry where? using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

public class CameraClipping : MonoBehaviour { public Transform SpawnPosition; public GameObject ObjectToCreate;

 void SpawnObject()
 {
     Instantiate(ObjectToCreate, SpawnPosition.position);
 }

}
