How to fix an error when searching in an instantiate object?

Question

.NET

Hello, I have a simple tank prefab that was created at the beginning of the game. I want to find a child gameObject in it

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour {
     public GameObject tankPrefab;
     private GameObject playerTank;
 
     // Start is called before the first frame update
     void Start () {
 
         GameObject inst = Instantiate (tankPrefab, new Vector3 (0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity);
         playerTank = inst.gameObject.Find ("Body");
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () { }
 }

I get an error

Assets\Scripts\GameManager.cs(14,22): error CS0176: Member 'GameObject.Find(string)' cannot be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead

How to fix?

Answer 1

Because find is a static method, it should not be called on an instance.

Answer 2

This is how it should work

playerTank = inst.gameObject.transform.Find("Body");
