Going up the Hierarchy

Hi All,

I need to search up though my Hierarchy to see if a parent object has a certain tag. My starting point can vary, So currently I have this.

Code (JavaScript):

1. var oneParent =currentSelection.transform.parent;
2. var twoParent =currentSelection.transform.parent.parent;

Is there a better way to do this, I want a loop really that just keeps on searching up the hierarchy then tells me how many levels up it had to go to get there......

Cheers,
Rusty

 

This is C# so you'll have to convert.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Transform currentTarget = transform.parent;
3. while ((currentTarget!=null)&&(!currentTarget.CompareTag("whatever"))) {
4.   currentTarget = currentTarget.parent;
5. }
6. if (currentTarget == null) {
7.  //notfound
8. } else {
9.  //found
10. }
11.  

 

Great, Thanks for your help, I try and implement this now!
