Getting parents variable (gameobject)

so i have this child object and what i want is to get a gameObject from my Parents script called "neighbours"

Code (csharp):

1.     if(transform.parent.GetComponent(Neighbours).RayHitObjectLeft != null)
2.         {
3.             var LeftParent : GameObject = transform.parent.GetComponent(Neighbours).RayHitObjectLeft.gameObject;
4.         }

this is how i do it but it isn't working

 

Google is, as always, your friend.
Maybe this will help you

Code (csharp):

1. gameObject.transform.parent.gameObject

 

this won't do because the object i want is the gameobject saved under the RayHitObjectLeft variable .

 

Im not quite sure if i understand your problem fully..
Wouldn't RayHitObjectLeft.transform.parent work?
If not pls try to explain your problem a bit more..

 

Hey , yes you don't really understand this , i made a little picture to show you what i mean

also what i failed to mention is that the red object has the variable stored in a script called "Neighbours"

 

halp

 

First of all, this is a forum, and there are not hundreds of people just waiting for u to have a problem, so stop bumping and chill.
Secondly, by just searching terms like 'unity parent component' or 'unity parent gamobject' etc i found tons of information and similar forum-entries.
so eg:
-> http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/158601/get-component-in-parent.html
-> http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Transform-parent.html
-> http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/57055/getcomponent-to-read-up-hierarchy.html

etc...

 

thanks for helping me with nothing on your 3rd brilliant post ... i already saw all the 3 sites you posted and atleast 10 more , the thing is i did everything the same as on the script with the only difference that it DOESN'T WORK

 

I am finding it hard to understand what you want. Do you want to change a var in a script on a child?

Have you looked into send message?

 

ok i have 2 objects

1. Parent object with a script called Neighbours
2. a child object with a script called mesh_deformation

i need to access object 1's Neigbour script and get a variable out of it called RayHitObjectLeft , this variable has a Gameobject stored in itsellf , the thing is i can't get it to show in my 2nd object

i use the following code

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var LeftParent : GameObject = transform.parent.GetComponent(Neighbours).RayHitObjectLeft;

 

First of all - post error messages if you get them.
Second - that statement makes a lot of assumptions about the hierarchy of your GameObject which may or may not be true so consider splitting it up into multiple statements.
Lastly - that overload of GetComponent returns a Component object not a Neighbours object. Component has no member named RayHitObjectLeft. Cast to Neighbours to access that value.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var LeftParent : GameObject = (transform.parent.GetComponent(Neighbours) as Neighbours).RayHitObjectLeft;
3.  

 

i still don't get the value of RayHit in my 2nd script , i have no errors and my hierarchy is just 2 objects :/
