DetachChildren(HierarchyNode)

public bool DetachChildren(in HierarchyNode node)

Parameters

node

HierarchyNode
The hierarchy node whose children are detached.

Returns

Type

Description

bool
true
if the command was appended to the list, 
false
otherwise.

Remarks

Equivalent to calling HierarchyCommandList.Detach on each child, but the node's children are severed in a single operation. Each detached child keeps its own children and is no longer reachable from Hierarchy.Root. Nothing reclaims them: the caller must either re-attach them with HierarchyCommandList.SetParent or delete them with HierarchyCommandList.Remove.
