Set parent action not working[SOLVED]

Hi Guys,

I am getting this error when using the set parent action in playmaker:

Setting the parent of a transform which resides in a prefab is disabled to prevent data corruption.
UnityEngine.Transform:set_parent(Transform)
HutongGames.PlayMaker.Actions.SetParent:OnEnter() (at Assets/PlayMaker/Actions/SetParent.cs:38)

HutongGames.PlayMaker.Fsm:SwitchState(FsmState)
HutongGames.PlayMaker.Fsm:UpdateStateChanges()
HutongGames.PlayMaker.Fsm:Start()
PlayMakerFSM:Start()


Is this due to the new unity3d update?

It looks like you're trying to run it on a prefab reference. It will only work on a scene object...

Thanks Alex,

I figured out the problem. I would create a gameobject from a prefab and then I wanted to set the parent of the created prefab.

The problem was I forgot to store the newly created gameobject so my set parent was pointing to the prefab instead.
