    Hello!
    I am having a problem that I can't understand.

    I have two objects, let's say OBJ_1 and OBJ_2

    I'd want that OBJ_1 detects the collision with OBJ_2 and makes it his Child.

    This code in on OBJ_1

    Code (CSharp):
    1.     private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    2.     {
    3.         transform.parent = other.transform.parent;
    4.     }
    watching in the inspector, this code won't work ...
    how may I acheive this?

    Thanks!

    Watch out for that implentation. It would appear to me you may very well start parenting anything and damn near everything to that object. But yea, as praetor pointed out. Gl.

    Thank you all! :)
    Now It works ... well now I have another problem (OBJ_2 falling and impacting OBJ_2 seems to change its scale!) but I will try to sort it out before asking for help in another tread.
    Anyway I would check if "tag" is the right one to avoid parenting everything! :)

    Thanks again!

    Make sure whatever you parent to is ONLY scaled to (1,1,1)

    Generally if you're making katamari, and your outside ball is scaled (5,5,5), DO NOT parent picked-up items to that ball but instead perhaps the balls parent Transform, which should always be scaled (1,1,1)
