Set child position of gameobject to top of parent gameobject (health bar)

Hi guys,

I guess its really simple but I cannot get why its not working properly. I was trying to set gameobject child position to top of parent gameobject, please see screenshot below (heal bar):

code:

structureText = child
this.gameobject = parent

Code (CSharp):

1.         structureText.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(0, this.transform.localScale.y, 0); // - structureText.transform.localScale.y - this.GetComponent<Renderer>().bounds.size.y
2.  

 

You're setting the y value from the localScale. Why?

 

It's just sample code. I need move object up to tower which can have different scale. So its needs to be calculated with.

 

[RESOLVED]

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void SetTextProperties()
2.     {
3.         structureText = new GameObject();
4.         structureText.name = "Structure Text";
5.  
6.         Canvas canvas = structureText.AddComponent<Canvas>();
7.         canvas.renderMode = RenderMode.WorldSpace;
8.  
9.         CanvasScaler cs = structureText.AddComponent<CanvasScaler>();
10.         cs.scaleFactor = 1f;
11.         cs.dynamicPixelsPerUnit = 60f;
12.  
13.         //How big is canvas! (10x10)
14.         RectTransform objectRectTransform = structureText.GetComponent<RectTransform>();
15.         objectRectTransform.sizeDelta = new Vector2(12, 6); //Edit plane for
16.  
17.         objectRectTransform.localScale = new Vector3(0.25f, 0.25f, 0.25f); //Smaller value, smaller text
18.  
19.         Font Arial = (Font)Resources.Load("Fonts/zrni_ rg"); //(Font)Resources.Load("Font/zrni_ rg.ttf"); //(Font)Resources.GetBuiltinResource(typeof(Font), "Arial.ttf");
20.  
21.         t = structureText.AddComponent<Text>();
22.  
23.         t.font = Arial;
24.         t.fontSize = 1;
25.         t.color = Color.black;
26.  
27.         t.alignment = TextAnchor.LowerCenter;
28.  
29.         float rectHeight = objectRectTransform.sizeDelta.y * objectRectTransform.lossyScale.y;
30.         AlignTextUp(rectHeight, 1.7f);
31.        
32.         //Parent with mob object
33.         structureText.gameObject.transform.SetParent(this.transform);
34.  
35.     }
36.  
37.     //Get proper height (y) of mob, less divisor => more up wards
38.     private void AlignTextUp(float rectHeight, float divisor)
39.     {
40.    [B]     structureText.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(this.transform.position.x, this.transform.localScale.y + (rectHeight / divisor), this.transform.position.z); // - structureText.transform.localScale.y - this.GetComponent<Renderer>().bounds.size.y[/B]
41.     }
