Acces to a child object

Hi. Sorry about my english..
I've two GameObjects, "Unit" and "UnitDestination". "UnitDestination is a child of "Unit". I want to acces to "UnitDestination" transform from a script attached to "Unit" gameobject. I tried this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. private Transform destination;
3.  
4.     void Awake()
5.     {
6.         destination = GetComponentInChildren<Transform> ();
7.         Debug.Log (destination.name);
8.     }
9.  

but console debugs "Unit", not "UnitDestination". I don't understand why doesn't work.. any help?

 

GetComponentInChildren is a somewhat misleading name, because the API doc explains that it searches the current object or its children:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.GetComponentInChildren.html

For your situation though it makes more sense to get this.transform.GetChild(0);

 

Thank you!!
