Changing the hierarchy through code
I am making a game and am coding it in javascript. During gameplay I add An object to the hierachy through code.
I was wondering if it was possible so that when this object gets added it would be added to a group???
I think because I am using a prefab it has an issue. A couple of the other sites I looked at said prefabs can be an issue.
This is the line I used to create the object
var player = Instantiate(playerPrefab, GameObject.Find("CreatePlayer").transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
Which is what I got from this site. This will create the player, but on another object I have all the code to make the player move around. So that is why I want to add the newly created object to the object with all the code.
Could the fact it is a prefab be an issue???
Thanks
sure. you're looking for .parent ... it's part of TRANSFOR$$anonymous$$ ... NOT anything else (that often catches people out)
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Transform-parent.html
changing the parent of something during gameplay is really central to program$$anonymous$$g video games, it's how you "stick" something to something else and so on. it is also critical for doing calculations, etc
hope it helps
Fattie, I already had a look at this, but thank you very much for your help.

Sorry Fattie, just reread that site you sent me to look at and I understood it a bit better. Thank you so much It is working now.
Thank you again
