Is there any way to destroy a Transform?
Just a really quick question. Is there any way to destroy a transform? (please answer in JavaScript and C#)
Quick answer, no. (Why would you want to do that?)
Do you mean you want to keep the gameObject, but destroy just the Transform? Then you'd have a gameObject that was nowhere (not even 000)? Like for an empty holding a script?
But, it you have a transform, and want to destroy it and the entire thing it's part of, that's super easy to look up: Destroy(someTranform.gameObject);

According to the Unity Manual, every GameObject has a Transform component. Despite this, the Script Reference about the property GameObject.transform says that it's null when there's no Transform attached (!?!?). Anyway, I'll stay with the Manual: I believe that simple mortals like us won't ever in our lives see a GameObject without a Transform. Based on this (and on what @Graham Dunnett and @Owen Reynolds said), the only way to destroy a Transform is to destroy the whole GameObject.
