In the editor's hierarchy, if I drag and drop one object onto another, the second becomes the parent of the first, and moving the parent will cause the child to move. I see I can set this relationship in code by setting the transform.parent property. So I wrote a component to help with doing that from code:
public class ParentTo: MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject _parent;
public GameObject Parent {
get { return _parent; }
set {
this.transform.parent = value.transform;
this._parent = value;
Debug.Log("Set parent");
}
}
}
So to test it, I have 2 cubes in the scene. On cube 2 I put the ParentTo script, leaving it with no parent set, then start the game and use the editor to drop Cube 1 on that field in the inspector. According to the inspector, it seems to have been set right, but the debug statement doesn't appear in the console and moving Cube 1 doesn't move Cube 2. What am I doing wrong?
