Set Position of Child as fixed global Position

Hey there!

I got following problem:

I have "Enemies" spawning from different SpawnPoints.
Each of them has 4 Childs "PointToMove", empty object that shall set random points different for each "Enemy" where the enemy moves to.

Now the problem is, when the enemy spawns and generates such a point he will move there, but since the childs "PointToMove" are attached to him they will move with them so he will never reach them.

I think this is a simple solved problem at all but i am pretty new to Unity and programming at all so i hope someone can help


My Script so far:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class EnemyMovement : MonoBehaviour {
2.  
3.     public Transform[] point;
4.  
5.     public float movementspeed = 5f;
6.     public float xValue = 0f;
7.     public float yValue = 0f;
8.  
9.     public Rigidbody2D rb;
10.  
11.     private int currentPoint;
12.  
13.  
14.     private void Start()
15.     {
16.         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
17.  
18.         for (int i = 0; i < point.Length; i++)
19.         {
20.             xValue = Random.Range(-3.1f, 3.1f);
21.             yValue = Random.Range(-1f, 5f);
22.             point[i].position = new Vector2(xValue, yValue);
23.  
24.         }
25.  
26.     }
27.  
28.     void Update ()
29.     {
30.         if(transform.position != point[currentPoint].position)
31.         {
32.             Vector2 pos = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, point[currentPoint].position, movementspeed * Time.deltaTime);
33.             rb.MovePosition(pos);
34.         }
35.         else
36.         {
37.             currentPoint = (currentPoint + 1) % point.Length;
38.         }
39.     }
40. }
41.  

 

Short story:

How do i move a parent without moving it`s childs?

 

Simplest solution: Don't make them children of the parent if they're not meant to move with the parent.
