Questions & Answers

so I’ve been searching for days, found multiple pages but they just didnt have a direct simple answer to this very simple question
how do I check if a transform is missing?

i want to make a code like

if(mytransform = missing){
//do stuff
}

if I try to use my transform == null it doesn’t work and its driving me mad right now, it should be so simple right?
anyway thanks in advance.

love,

If you are looking on a game object, there is no need for a check since ALL game objects in Unity come with a Transform. And I do mean ALL game objects. An empty game object is actually just a point in space due to the fact that it has a Transform component.

This, I think, is due to the fact that Transform is used for parenting and you can arent object together so you need a Transform even though the game object is not doing anything rendered in the scene, like a manager.

This only applies for GameObject and not scriptable objects or custom class that are not MonoBehaviour.

 if(mytransform = missing)

This above is not checking for nullity or missing, it s trying to assign missing to transform.
