delete parent or send message to parent?

Hey, how do i either delete the parent of an object from a script on the child OR send a true/false message to the parent?

plz JAVA :P

Something like this:

var parent = transform.parent;
if (parent != null)
{
    Destroy(parent.gameObject);
}

or this:

var parent = transform.parent;
if (parent != null)
{
    parent.SendMessage("FunctionName", boolValue, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
}

// I think this is a bit more easier to send a message to parent :slight_smile:

transform.root.gameObject.SendMessage (“AddPoint”, 1);
