ParentConstraint

Description

Constrains the transformation of a GameObject based on the position and rotation of one or more sources.

Use this constraint to move and rotate a GameObject based on the position and rotation of other sources. For example, you can use this constraint to place a sword in the hand of a character. You can also adjust the weight of each source to influence whether the constrained GameObject follows the position and rotation of one source over another source.

Refer to Parent Constraint Component for more details.

Additional resources: ConstraintSource, LookAtConstraint, AimConstraint.

// This example uses a ParentConstraint to constrain a GameObject based on the position and rotation of two sources. 
// The first source has a greater influence than the second source based on their assigned weight.
