Local Scale Calculation Help

Unity Engine
1

I have a 2d game. I have a parent GameObject that is assigned a random local scale when it is instantiated.

I have a child GameObject inside that parent that I do not want to change the local scale of when the parent is instantiated.

I am thinking I need to get the transform.parent.localscale and run some sort of calculation with that to always return the child GameObject’s local scale to a Vector3 (.3f, .3f, 0). As to what that calculation is or how to go about it, I am completely lost.

This would help my game development journey very much.

Unparent it, scale the parent, then reparent it.

So I have found a solution to get the results I want currently and I think it will ultimately work with some modification but I would really like to start using non static functions and calculations to further my game development skills.

I am just setting the child GameObject’s local scale very small and then running this in the update function.

        if(transform.lossyScale.x < .5f)
        {
            transform.localScale = transform.localScale += new Vector3(.1f, .1f, 0f);
        }

I will likely only run this a few seconds after the parent GameObject is instantiated if I keep this, but if someone can help me with a calculation in my OP I would be very grateful.
