Questions & Answers

I have a gui button set up and what I am wanting to do is when it is pressed spawn and object and parent the third person controller to that object. I have never done this and am not sure how to start.

If you mean “parenting two gameobjects” you have to do something like this:

GameObject GOone;
GameObject GOtwo;

void ...(){

  GOone.parent = GOtwo; //GOone is now the child of GOtwo

}

but if you mean: “attach a script/Component to a Gameobject” you have to do something like this:

GameObject GO;

void ...(){

  GO.AddComponent(MouseLook); //Adds the MouseLook-Script to the Gameobject

}

Had same issue, this is what worked for me:

Transform GO1 = GameObject.find("GameObject1").transform;
Transform GO2 = GameObject.find("GameObject2").transform;

void... () {
   GO1.parent = GO2; //GO1 now child of GO2
}

Had some issue with the above code so this is what worked for me. Hope this helps.

   public class Cube : MonoBehaviour {
    
    
    	GameObject platform;
    	GameObject player;
    
    
    
    	// Use this for initialization
    	void Start () {
    		platform= GameObject.Find("platform");
    		player = GameObject.Find("FPSController");
    
    
    	}
    	void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
    		
    		player.transform.parent = platform.transform;
    		Debug.Log("Parented!");
    
    	}
    	
    	void OnTriggerExit(Collider other){
    		player.transform.parent = null;
    		Debug.Log("Unparented!");
    	} 
    
    }
