  1. Check out [ExecuteInEditMode] and the general approach of having scripts to work in Edit Mode.

  2. To child an object, use the transform of the parent:

    child_object.transform.parent = parent_object.transform;

  3. To instantiate an object, check out the Instantiate class.

I'm writing "on the go" so I can't really drop the entire code from memory right now, even less do I want to make a syntax mistake which might be of trouble later. But this might be some start to get you moving and experimenting on your own. Good luck!

@PhoenixBlackReal : [ExecuteInEdit$$anonymous$$ode] Works fine ..... the game object pops right when i add script to any gameobject . But when i run the game it again create the same objects (Since the code is in Start). How to stop that ?

 [ExecuteInEdit$$anonymous$$ode]
 public class $$anonymous$$ovingPlatform : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
 
     GameObject EndPoints;
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         if (EndPoints == null)            //Doesnt Work 
         {
             EndPoints = new GameObject("EndPoints");     //This runs twice (once in editor and then in run)
             EndPoints.transform.parent = this.transform;
         }
 
     }

 GameObject t = (GameObject) Instantiate(yourobjectname, objectposition, object rotation);
 t.transform.parent = parentname.transform;
