GetComponent in parent question

Questions & Answers
1

I know you can do GetComponent and it looks for other scripts in the same gameObject.
Then there’s GetComponentInChildren which looks for scripts in the gameObject’s children.

I was wondering if there was the same thing but for looking up in hierarchy like GetComponentInParent?
Or if GetComponent is already doing that.

transform.parent.GetComponent(…

From 4.5 available GameObject.GetComponentsInParent

4

GameObject.GetComponent(“Name In hierarchy”).GetComponent(“Name Of Script/Controller”);

This will find the object and then select the chosen script. The Name In Hierarchy can be a child of another game object and it will still select it without specifying that it is a child.
