Attaching a child gameobject to a gameobject pinned to a rope

[nigelkennington]

Hi there,

Tested in the Crane sample scene, but can't reproduce anything strange. Programmatically parenting to a pinned object works just fine for me. Can you share the code you're using to parent the second object?

Thanks Jose,

Here's the code:

Code:

   private void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
   {
       print("Got a collision with " + other.gameObject.name);
       if (other.gameObject.tag == "LiftPoint")
       {
           if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, other.gameObject.transform.position) < connectDistance)
           {
               print("Got one! " + other.gameObject.name + " is touching " + this);
               if (remainingConnectTime > 0)
               {
                   // Countdown remaining time
                   remainingConnectTime -= Time.deltaTime;
                   print ("Counting down! " + remainingConnectTime);
               }
               else
               {
                   print("Connecting!");
                   // Connect, disable attachpoint, reset timer
                   remainingConnectTime = connectTime;
                   other.gameObject.transform.parent.parent = this.transform.Find("LoadAnchor");
                   other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
               }
           }
           else
           {
               print("Resetting to " + connectTime + " :-(");
               remainingConnectTime = connectTime;
           }
       }
   }

All it's doing is counting down 3 seconds if the hook is inside the attachpoint, then setting the attachpoint's parent's parent to be the anchor of the hook and disabling the attachpoint.

Thanks Jose,

Here's the code:

I've taken the rigidbody off the child object and that seems to have fixed it.

Thanks for trying to help though!
