How do make a Instantiated prefab a child of exsisting Object?

Questions & Answers

OK so i just watched quill18’s destruction tutorial. he came up with this script. which pretty much says when A collides with B. B gets destroyed and replaced with C. This works perfectly if the object(C) you are instantiating is not meant to move, but in my case I need the object(C) to be parented to an other object(D), which is moving, so that object(C) moves with the moving object(D). however i am not sure how to do this. Please help?

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Destrutiable : MonoBehaviour {

public GameObject debrisPrefab;
public Transform DT;

void Start () {

}

void OnCollisionEnter( Collision collision)
{
	if(collision.impactForceSum.magnitude > 20f)
	{
		DestroyMe();
	}
}


void DestroyMe()
{
	if(debrisPrefab)
		{
		Instantiate(debrisPrefab, transform.position, DT.rotation);
		}
		Destroy(gameObject);
}

}

The instantiate function will return the newly created instance. Put it in a var (it’s a gameobject, will need a cast though) thhen assign it’s parent.

ObjectC.SetParent(ObjectD, true);

Try somethin like that.

You can do something like this:

GameObject go = Instantiate (exsample, transform.position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
go.transform.parent = transform;

You Instantiate the new game object and put it in a new game object variable. Then just parrent it like you would any other game object.
