Position Script Question

Unity Engine

Hello just a quick and dumb question

How to i change the Position from a child Object to the Position of the Parent Object.

What i want to do : is when Child reaches 0 HP to change Position to the Parents Position.

Or to a Set Game Object on the Screen thats not the parent >.>

2 
// sets child object to the parent's position
childObject.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;

or

// sets child object to the parent's position
childObject.transform.position = childObject.transform.parent.position;

or

// sets child object to another object's world position
childObject.transform.position = otherObject.transform.position;

Thanks will give it a try

If you want to set the child to an offset, you can set the local position equal to that offset.

To expand, localPosition is the position of the object relative to its parent (or just the world coordinates if it doesn’t have a parent). In other words, it’s an offset from transform.parent.position.
