Prefab Instance Component

The prefab instance component is a gameplay component that creates an instance of a given Prefab Asset.

Prefab Instance components cannot be added to gameobjects that have child gameobjects in the hierarchy. They must be added to an empty gameobject that has no other components attached. While a prefab instance component is attached to a gameobject, that gameobject cannot have any child gameobjects added, cannot have any more components added and will be given a unique icon and color in the hierarchy.
