destroying children also destroys parent itself

Questions & Answers

Hi!
I want to destroy gameObject children, but gameObject dont.

First i tried:

var children =  player.GetComponentsInChildren(Transform);
for (var c in children)
{
    Destroy(c.gameObject);
}

Destroyed children as i wanted, but with a little bonus - it also destroyed the parent that I dont want

Second approach:

var children =  player.GetComponentsInChildren(Transform);
    for (var c in children)
    {
         if(c.gameObject&&c.gameObject!=player) Destroy(c.gameObject);
    }

Doesnt destroy anything at all - weird.

Third approach:

 var children =  player.GetComponentsInChildren(Transform);
        for (var c in children)
        {
             if(c.gameObject&&!c.gameObject.CompareTag("Player")) Destroy(c.gameObject);
        }

The same as third approach.

Can someone point what im doing wrong?

Maybe i am too tired and cant see the problem.

I do like this when removing objects:

    public void RemoveAll(string parentName)
	{
		// find parent object
		GameObject goParent = GameObject.Find(parentName);

            foreach(Transform child in goParent.transform)     
            {
                 GameObject.Destroy(child.gameObject);
            }
	}

Its C# but I think you should be able to translate it to Javascript without problems.

Or maybe:

public void RemoveChildren(Transform parent)
{
    foreach(Transform child in parent)
        GameObject.Destroy(child.gameObject);
}

(C#)

Here is my revised static version

public static void DestroyChildren(Transform someTransform)
{
        foreach(Transform child in someTransform)     
             GameObject.Destroy(child.gameObject);
}

here is my revised static version:

public static void DestroyChildren(Transform someTransform)
{
        foreach(Transform child in someTransform)     
             GameObject.Destroy(child.gameObject);
}
