Scripting + Parent Hierarchy = ??

Unity Engine
1

Hello,

This is probably another very basic scenario that I’m having problems with, but I’d like to have a script parent instantiated objects into a given group in the Hierarchy. For example, I have an empty game object called TestGroup and a game object called TestObject(clone) that is created in-game via Instantiate() function. I’d like for the script to make the TestObject a child of TestGroup in the Hierarchy view.

I looked up “parent” in the scripting search but it seems to only work with the transforms of the object, not the hierarchy.

Any thoughts? Thanks,

Setting the transform will move it in the hierarchy as well (the hierarchy is just a representation of transform parent/child relationships).

Thanks. I guess I should have actually TESTED transform.parent first. : /
