Set Parent like drag a prefab in the hierachy

Hi,

im i kind of confuse..
i have a charakter. and a prefab of a hat with the right position, rotation and scale.
now i put the hut as prefab in the project view.

if a drag and drop the prefab from the project view on my charakter in the hierachy.. the pos,scal, rot is ok.

now i try to add the hat with a c# script, but the pos, scale and rot are not ok

Code (CSharp):

1. Transform[] allChildren = CharGA.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
2.             foreach (Transform child in allChildren) {
3.                 if(child.name == "BigHeads HeadNub")
4.                 {
5.                     GameObject tmpGA = CResourceManager.LoadGameObjectFromName(tmpitem.ga_Name);
6.                     tmpGA.transform.SetParent(child);
7.                     break;
8.                 }
9.             }

how can i simulate the drag and drop from the project view on the character in the hierachy?
there is something diffent.

 

Chances are you will want to add the line:

Code (CSharp):

1. tmpGA.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;

immediately after you set the parent.

If you have an offset in the prefab that you would like to have, you're going to have to do this:

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector3 backupOffset = tmpGA.transform.localPosition
2. tmpGA.transform.SetParent(child);
3. tmpGA.transform.localPosition = backupOffset;

Setting the parent doesn't move the object in world space. So if the parent isn't at [0,0,0], it won't move to where you want it. Once the object is parented, if you set the offset to [0,0,0] in the local position, it will snap to the parents pivot point.

 

Ok, i already tryed this but with the wrong result.

with this script it looks: (wrong)


and if i drag and drop it from project view to the bone of my character in the hieracy it works right:

 

Try backing up the .localRotation and .localScale in the same way that .localPosition was, and then set them after it has been parented.
