Question by Myhijim · Jun 08, 2012 at 01:36 PM · destroyrandomparentchilddestroy-clones

Destroying Children Individually (Horrible..)

Hey guys this is my first post asking for awnsers and i am wondering how i would go about picking a random child from a parent of 125 children and destroying ONE alone, not all at once.

Here is my current code

 for(var i = 0; i < 4;i++)
 {
 var AmountDestroy = Random.Range(1,100); // The amount of children to be destroyed
 var createdchunk = Instantiate(PreChunk,Vector3(1*i,1*i,1*i), Quaternion.identity);
 
 for (var del = 0; del < AmountDestroy; del++)
 {
 // Need the Child destruction here
 
 }

Thank you to whoever is willing to help

The easiest way is to use GetChild together with childCount. GetChild is no longer described in the documentation, but as afaik it's still there.

 for(var i = 0; i < 4;i++)
 {
     var AmountDestroy = Random.Range(1,100); // The amount of children to be destroyed
     var createdchunk = Instantiate(PreChunk,Vector3(1*i,1*i,1*i), Quaternion.identity);
     
     for (var del = 0; del < AmountDestroy; del++)
     {
         var index = Random.Range(0,tranform.childCount);
         Destroy(transform.GetChild(index).gameObject);
     }
 }

Can you assign a unique name with a number in it to your children?

If yes, I'll go with something like that :

 for(var i = 0; i < 4;i++)
 {
 var AmountDestroy = Random.Range(1,100); // The amount of children to be destroyed
 var createdchunk = Instantiate(PreChunk,Vector3(1*i,1*i,1*i), Quaternion.identity);
 
 for (var del = 0; del < AmountDestroy; del++)
 {
  var randChildNr=Random.Range(1,125);
  destroy(transform.find("sometexthere"+randChildNr))
 
 }

This is a bad example. What if transform.Find can't find the object? You will get a null-reference and Destroy will throw a null-reference exception.

Also Find has a capital F as well as Destroy has a capital D and you're missing a semicolon at the end ;)
