Can you attach GameObject to a prefab in Unity?
You can’t do this – you can link scene objects with other scene objects or prefabs, but a prefab can only be linked with other prefabs. You might be able to use GameObject.Find to get the scene object in the prefab’s Start function, depending on what you need to do. trevorscott209, GT1985, Mariusabi and 3 others like this.

What can you do with empty gameobjects in Unity?
Empty gameObjects are really useful for things like spawners and reference points, since they’re invisible during gameplay.

How to assign a reference to a prefab in Unity?
Assign the object to interact with when you instantiate the prefab. If you spawn the prefab from a script, then that script will need to have a reference to the object. If you create a prefab instance in the Unity editor, you will have to assign that reference manually.
Is there a way to find all gameobjects in Unity?
Another candidate is ” Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll “. This one finds active and inactive gameobjects, but it also returns objects that have been selected in the project window and are actually not part of the current scene (the documentation says its result may contain internal objects).
