Title: [SOLVED] Child Drop Parent?
Post by: j0hnbane on August 29, 2016, 08:06:22 PM

Hello there!

I have a Parent Game Object with several child Objects. When I remove one of the child Objects, how do I get that child to detect it is no longer a child?

Not sure if I'm over thinking this or what.

Thanks!

And I've been also looking for the other way as well. Checking if it has a parent object.

I'm picking up objects and need certain things to happen on parenting.

I've dug through the ecosystem and I'm at a loss.

I've worked out the parent detecting a child or not. I'm still getting used the syntax used to describe what I'm trying to do.

Game Object Has Children and Game Object is Child of.

I try to do a thorough search on these forums, wiki, google, etc of what I'm attempting to do before posting in this forum.

Hi,

yes, indeed PlayMaker already feature actions such as GameObjectHasChildren, GetChildCount, GameObjectIsChildOf

If you want a gameobject to be aware of a reparenting, it's not possible until Unity 5.3. I just updated the PlayMaker Utils on the Ecosystem with a new component called "TransformEventsBridge", so get the latest PlayMaker Utils and use that to send events when ever the parent or children changed. Warning, this is only available int Unity 5.3 or newer.

 Let me know how it goes.


 Bye,
