Pass the location of an object's parent?

I want to pass the transform.position and transform.rotation of a GameObject's parent. The function that takes the parameters currently accepts a GameObject, but I don't know the right code to put in the function call.

Alternatively, Is there a way if I pass the parameter as a Transform? (I have tried this but cannot get it to work).

Any ideas would be great, thanks!

 

Sure, you can pass a Transform, or a GameObject, or a Vector3. Do whatever's convenient. If all are equally convenient, then I generally recommend doing whatever's the lowest-level... so prefer a Transform over a GameObject, and prefer a Vector3 over either one of those. That gives you the most flexibility — for example, you could pass in a computed position instead of always having to use the position of some game object.

But anyway.

If the method you're calling needs a GameObject, and you want to pass in the parent, then simply pass in transform.parent.gameObject.

If you want to change the method to take a position and rotation (i.e. a Vector3 and a Quaternion), then instead pass in transform.parent.position, transform.parent.rotation.

If still stuck, please post the code so we can see what you're doing.

 

This answers both of my questions, thanks!
