OnTriggerEnter() parenting problem.

Questions & Answers
1

I’ve got a Player object and a Weapon object on the scene, and I want the weapon to become attached to Player when the player touches the Weapon.

void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other) {
	transform.parent = other.transform;

}

this is the trigger code on the Weapon class. When the Player touches the Weapon, it triggers the OnTriggerEnter2D function, and when i rotate the player the weapon turns around aswell. However, the x and y of the weapon don’t change when the player moves around.
I’ve tried many variations of this, such as:

this.transform.parent = other.transform;

transform.parent = other.getComponent<Transform>();

All of them have the same effect. What am I doing wrong?

The problem was that the weapon object had a rigidbody2D attached. Removing the rigidbody2D or setting “Is Kinematic” to true solves the problem.
