Question by Donnell-007 · Dec 11, 2012 at 06:16 PM · gameobjectinstantiateparentchildrename

Renaming Child Objects during Instantiate?

When Instantiating an object, how do you rename the child objects within the gameobject (parent) that is being instantiated?

Basically I have this:

  • MainObject
    • ChildA

    • ChildB

When I instantiate and use name to rename the obect, it renames the parent object, like this:

  • MainObject_DifferentName
    • ChildA

    • ChildB

But I want to do something like this:

  • MainObject

    • ChildA_2

    • ChildB_2

I think you will need to get the children of the instantiated object. Maybe something like this?

 instantiatedObject.name = "MainObject";
 for(var child : GameObject in instantiatedObject) {
      if(child.name != "MainObject");
           child.name = child.name+"_2";
 }
