Transform child object over time and then destroy it.
I have a parent object which contains a bunch of instantiated children
gameObjectChild = Instantiate(Resources.Load(spawnObjName), pos, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
gameObjectChild.name = "child" + objectName++;
gameObjectChild.transform.SetParent(parent.transform, true);
Parent is transforming with his children each time the button is pressed.
GameObject.Find("parent").transform.position += new Vector3(0, -0.94f, 0);
Now I wish to move over time by X axe and then destroy a child object each time the button is pressed. I am able to destroy it with this:
Destroy(GameObject.Find("child" + destroyObjectName++), 0.02f);
Unfortunately I can't menage to transform it over time properly. I tried with this, but it just messes everything up.
GameObject.Find("child" + destroyObjectName++).transform.locaposition += new Vector3(1, 0, 0);
Is this the right approach to do that? Any ideas? Thanks!
For starters
gameObjectChild.transform.SetParent(parent.transform, true);
should be
gameObjectChild.transform.parent=parent.transform;
Instead of referencing the parent constantly, do it once, probably on Awake
// Set a parent object, instead of using find every cycle
function Awake()
{parentObject=GameObject.Find("parent");}
//Move parent on click & also destroy a child on click
function OnMouseClick()
{parentObject.transform.position += Vector3(0.0, -0.94f, 0.0);
// On your old destroy line you had "child" when it should be "parent/child"
// Because in the hierarchy it should literally be the child of the parent
// searching your hierarchy for Every object named "child" is bad practice.
// Also, should not be incrementing variables during a command. Do it before
destroyObjectName++;
Destroy(GameObject.Find("parent/child" + destroyObjectName), 0.02f); }
//Move over time by x
function Update()
{parentObject.transform.position+=Vector3(1.0*Time.deltaTime, 0.0,0.0);}
This last line is also incorrect, even if the logic was correct too
GameObject.Find("child" + destroyObjectName++).transform.locaposition += new Vector3(1, 0, 0);
Should be
destroyObjectName++; //increment first
GameObject.Find("parent/child" + destroyObjectName).transform.localPosition += Vector3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
Hope that helps.
