Generic overload MethodInfo in not-base-class

[Sessional]

When attempting to do some transpile patches. The best spot to hook in this method appears to be the GameObject.Instantiate method. However, it's using an overload I seem to be unable to get my hands on a reference for.

I tried to get the overload with something like this below. I figured since it's a generic method I would need a generic.. but none of those come out with anything except an exception (so I must be using it wrong?)

MethodInfo instantiateCall = AccessTools.Method(typeof(GameObject), nameof(GameObject.Instantiate), parameters: new []{typeof(GameObject), typeof(Transform)});

Which returns UnityEngine.Object Instantiate(UnityEngine.Object, UnityEngine.Transform) instead of the necessary UnityEngine.GameObject Instantiate[GameObject](UnityEngine.GameObject, UnityEngine.Transform).

You'll notice -- it's giving me the base class method Object instead of GameObject and giving me the non-generic (no T) version of it instead too it seems. What's the best strategy of getting the right one so I can label the method for my branch?

You are not using the correct reflection code. You need to call MakeGenericMethod(). But harmony also does not officially support generics so patching can still fail or behave weird.
