How to set the child transform relative to the parent?

How to set the child transform relative to the parent?

The parent object is not positioned at 0, 0, 0, so it’s not just that the child object position is set relative to 0, 0, 0. So how do I programmatically set the position of the HUD camera so it is relative to the parent transform position, if not by just setting it as a child of the parent object and then setting its position?

How do you move child object to parent?

You can move a child object to its parent by clearing its origin. The relationship between the parent and child is not affected. Select the child object and press Alt-O. By confirming the child object will snap to the parent’s location.

However that means the world position will change. It looks like the object teleports into a strange position and rotation, and possibly skew, depending on the parent’s transform. Set Parent by Calling ‘transform.SetParent (someTransform, false)’ – This will keep the same world position, like dragging and dropping.

Is the local transform the same as the parent transform?

Remember, if there’s no parent object, the local transform values is the same as the world values. Or rather, the local values are relative to the zero-vector for both position, scale and rotation. Feel free to ask questions!

How to handle giving an object a parent?

So how would you handle giving an object a parent, which previously had no parent. Making sure that any changes of the parent transform does change the child’s transform like normal, but when you first set the parent as the parent, the object stays in the same world position.
