How to Destroy a Parented Object in Unity-CodePudding

I am making a shooting game in Unity, and the enemy looks close to a human because I have added many different shapes to make up an enemy. The problem is, when I shoot the enemy, the different shapes disappear instead of the whole enemy. Here is my collision code.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class WeaponCollision : MonoBehaviour
{
    void OnParticleCollision(GameObject other) 
    {
        Destroy(other);
    }
}

Is there a way to delete the whole object instead of all the different parts? Thanks!

You can try GameObject.transform.parent to get the parent object of the current transform. You can read at Transform.parent

Do something like this

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class WeaponCollision : MonoBehaviour
{
    void OnParticleCollision(GameObject other) 
    {
        Destroy(other.transform.parent);
    }
}

You can destroy a parented object in Unity using the Destroy method from the UnityEngine.Object class. Here's how you can use it: using UnityEngine;

public class Example{ public GameObject parentObject;

private void DestroyParentObject()
{
    // Destroys the parent object and all its children
    Destroy(parentObject);
}

}

In this example, the Destroy method destroys the parentObject and all of its children. The Destroy method takes an object reference as its argument, which can be a reference to a GameObject, a Component, or any other UnityEngine.Object.

You can also specify a delay time in seconds before the object is destroyed, by passing a second argument to the Destroy method:

Destroy(parentObject, 5.0f);

In this example, the parentObject will be destroyed after 5 seconds.
