Unit Parenting

Questions & Answers
1

I’m making a RTS game like Total War in which the units are in groups, and to handle this I’m spawning units when the scene starts, and I want them to be parented to the “group” object.

var unitMax : int;
var unitStrength : int;
var unitType : Transform;

function Start () {
    for (var i : int = 0;i < unitStrength; i++) {
        Instantiate (unitType, Vector3(i * 2.0, 1, 0), Quaternion.identity);
        unitType.transform.parent = gameObject.transform;
    }
    }

My problem is that the units aren’t children of the group object.

var newUnit = Instantiate (unitType, Vector3(i * 2.0, 1, 0), Quaternion.identity);
newUnit.transform.parent = gameObject.transform;
