(SOLVED) Scaling Gameobject, scales its Children as well :(

[SawyerK]

I use iTween Scale to, to scale down my Player when crouching, when i grab an item i parent it to the playerCamera which is parented to the Player. The problem is the grabbed object scales down as well with the player and i dont want it to happen. Is there a way so the scaling is only applied to the Player and not the children?

Perhaps this could help you.

Thank you! It still scales it down when i crouch but when i release the item it bounces back to its real size, its not that good but i'm one step closer now :/

As the transform is by design inherited from the parent, you can either (1) upscale the grabbed objects, or you can keep them out of the hierarchy that scales down, by (2) linking to a bone/bind/mount/placeholder object.

(1) dynamic: right before the scaling happens, unparent the grabbed object briefly, and after scaling parent again. Or static: find out what the scale factor is in runtime, then just set that value to the grabbed object.

(2) you likely have a bone/bind/mount/placeholder object that is used to move a grabbed object to the desired place in the hierarchy. Instead of parenting, move it as child to separate game object, which is linked to the bone/placeholder with location and rotation constraints (it follows the bone/placeholder without being a child).

Perhaps don't link the picked item to the player and simply apply the player's hand position to the item in a late update?

Thank you for the help! I solved the problem in an other way. I changed the Height in the controller settings with Float Interpolate, its not as nice as iTween Scale To but it works.

Try HoTween Free, it might be worthwhile too.
