Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.21,0:00:13.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In Unity, its common to use empty game objects for spawn points, and other invisible objects in our scene
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.07,0:00:21.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here we have an empty game object called Spawn Point which currently only has a Transform component
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.25,0:00:25.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When we have the object highlighted in the Hierarchy, it's easy to see.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.00,0:00:29.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but when we deselect it, it becomes completely invisible

Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.86,0:00:54.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can choose a small circular icon of various colours

Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.20,0:01:08.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here I will assign the default particle texture as the icon
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.72,0:01:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now when we deselect the object
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.14,0:01:17.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can see that the icon causes it to remain visible
