you can get all children, add to a list and then randomly pick some and then destroy or disable them.
class Spawner : Monobehaviour
{
Transform parent;
List<Transform> children = new List<Transform>();
void DestroyKids( int amount)
{
if (children.Count == 0)
return;
if (amount > children.Count)
amount = children.Count;
for (int i =0; i < amount; ++i)
{
Transform randomChildToSacrifice = children [Random.Range (0, children.Count)];
children.Remove(randomChildToSacrifice);
Destroy (randomChildToSacrifice.gameObject);
}
}
}
it kind of works but it doesn't work on the parent object whose childs I am instantiating through another scripts.
have you tried list.Add(GetComponentsInChildren())? Can't try it out here but you need the parent make know the reference. You can find it by tag, find children etc.
