Try to setchild does not work

Hello,
i have two objects and try to change the parent of the one to the other.
The parents are canvas the object is a button.

Code (CSharp):

1.             fmitem.transform.SetParent (g.maincanvas.transform);

I dont get a error in unity but the button stays just in the same canvas. How can i track the problem?

 

First, make sure that piece of code is actually being executed. Put a Debug.Log next to it, and see if it gets printed.

Next, make sure it's pointing to the correct objects. You can do this like so:

Code (csharp):

1. Debug.Log("Setting parent of "+fmitem.gameObject.name + " to "+g.maincanvas.gameObject.name, fmitem);

That second parameter will allow you click on the log and highlight the object passed to it.

If those don't point to the problem then... something weirder is going on.

 

I made sure the code is executed and addet your line:
In the debug log i get this:

Setting parent of Under construction to maincanvas
UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object, Object)
objects:buildmapitem(String, GameObject, Vector2, String, tuf) (at Assets/scripts/execute.cs:598)
objects:makeconstructionspace(tuf, String, maps) (at Assets/scripts/execute.cs:583)
maps:mapclicked(String) (at Assets/scripts/execute.cs:300)
<buildmenuitem>c__AnonStorey2:<>m__2() (at Assets/scripts/execute.cs:416)
UnityEngine.EventSystems.EventSystem:Update()

 

i addet one more line:


fmitem.transform.SetParent (g.maincanvas.transform);

Debug.Log ("parent of " + fmitem.gameObject.name + " is " + fmitem.transform.parent.name, fmitem);

parent of Under construction is maincanvas
UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object, Object)
objects:buildmapitem(String, GameObject, Vector2, String, tuf) (at Assets/scripts/execute.cs:602)
objects:makeconstructionspace(tuf, String, maps) (at Assets/scripts/execute.cs:583)
maps:mapclicked(String) (at Assets/scripts/execute.cs:300)
<buildmenuitem>c__AnonStorey2:<>m__2() (at Assets/scripts/execute.cs:416)
UnityEngine.EventSystems.EventSystem:Update()}


But the button still shows in the uicanvas and its still in the space of the uicanvas.

 

I found it it was reset somewhere to the old value...
