(C#) How do I run something in my child's script?

Questions & Answers
1

I’ve tried a few things but I can’t seem to figure it out

this:

hex = transform.FindChild("Hex").GetComponent<Hex>();

Doesn’t seem to do it either, am I doing something wrong?

I want to run something in my child’s script, how do I access it and run it?

Try this, I’ve split it into two lines to make it easier to read.

oChild_Object = transform.parent.FindChild("Child_Object_Name").gameObject;
oChild_Object_Script = oChild_Object.GetComponent(Your_Child_Object_Script_Name);

No quotes on the script name, just the name exactly as is exculding the “.js” .
Hope this helps

FindChild is not a method of Transform (I think it may have been some time ago, but it’s certainly not in the method reference now.). Try Find instead.

Otherwise, if the GO to which this script is attached has a child called “Hex”, and that child has a script attached called Hex, this should work. If you only have one child object with a Hex script on it, you could also try

hex = GetComponentInChildren<Hex>();
