Description: I want to make a building by script. THe building has its parts as a flat, a parvis, a ground floor, a second floor etc. In the script below i made functions for each part of the building. Then in the main function start() i create these parts and next i try to combine them under their ‘father object’ flat.

Here’s the script:

class IonianHouse{
//create the shapes of IonianHouse building parts
var oParvis = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
var oFlat = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
var oGroundFloor =	GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
var oFirstFloor =	GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
var oLeftCube = 	GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
var oRightCube = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
var oFirstFloorRoof = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
var oColumn = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cylinder);

var rot: Quaternion = Quaternion.identity;

function Collumns(){
	
	var cloneColumn = Instantiate(oColumn , Vector3(-79.01502,3.930318,10.8331), rot);

	//Choose a Structure, which is more capable for the collumn objects	
	var aColumns : GameObject[3];

	oColumn.transform.localScale.x =0.6616377; //X scale of the collumn
	oColumn.transform.localScale.y =3.189006; //Y scale of the collumn
	oColumn.transform.localScale.z = 0.9843928; //Z scale of the collumn

	//Set the Collumns
	for(var i =0; i<=aColumns.length; i++){
		//puts in the Array the oColumn object clones 		
		aColumns *= cloneColumn;*

  •   	cloneColumn.Vector3.x += -2; // puts every oColumn object clone near to the next one, X point distance of every clone is -2*

    Is there something wrong with the code according to what i want to do?
    Thanks in advance.

In the last section of your code you set the flat to be the child of every object in turn. You have to reverse this. Call the Flat() function first. Then you can set the Flat to be the parent of each object directly in the respective function. Example:

private var flat : Transform = null;    //variable to store the flat object

function Flat(){
    var pos = oFlat.transform.position;
    pos = Vector3(-82.49211,0.4076467,27.69778);
    oFlat.transform.localScale.x = 14.22;
    oFlat.transform.localScale.y = 0.78;
    oFlat.transform.localScale.z = 38.55168;
    flat = Instantiate(oFlat, pos, rot);    //store the flat object
}

function LeftCube(){
    var pos = oLeftCube.transform.position;
    pos = Vector3(-77.17271,3.258567,12.60766);
    oLeftCube.transform.localScale.x = 3.62;
    oLeftCube.transform.localScale.y = 4.97;
    oLeftCube.transform.localScale.z = 3.61;
    var tempObj = Instantiate(oLeftCube, pos, rot);
    if(flat != null)
        tempObj.parent = flat;        //child the new object to the flat
}
