public Transform parent ;

Description

The parent of the transform.

Changing the parent will modify the parent-relative position, scale and rotation but keep the world space position, rotation and scale the same.

// Check if the new parent has a parent GameObject. if (newParent.transform.parent != null) { //Display the name of the grand parent of the player. Debug.Log("Player's Grand parent: " + player.transform.parent.parent.name); } }
