Examples
using UnityEngine;using System.Collections;public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour{ public GameObject player; //Invoked when a button is pressed. public void SetParent(GameObject newParent) { //Makes the GameObject "newParent" the parent of the GameObject "player". player.transform.parent = newParent.transform; //Display the parent's name in the console. Debug.Log("Player's Parent: " + player.transform.parent.name); // Check if the new parent has a parent GameObject. if (newParent.transform.parent != null) { //Display the name of the grand parent of the player. Debug.Log("Player's Grand parent: " + player.transform.parent.parent.name); } } public void DetachFromParent() { // Detaches the transform from its parent. transform.parent = null; }}
