make a child always have its own scale?

Question

Is there some way to code for a child object to retain its own original scale no matter what the scale/skew of the parent is? I don't know how to go about getting a specific scale for the object to refer to when parented to diffent objects with various scales.

Thanks

Looks messy but worked for me

 transform.localScale = new Vector3 (1/transform.parent.transform.localScale.x, 1/transform.parent.transform.localScale.y, 1/transform.parent.transform.localScale.z);

its dividing your desired scale(1) by your parents scale

if (Size != Old_Size && SphereColider != null) { SphereColider.radius *= Old_Size / Size; } transform.localScale = new Vector3(Size, Size, Size); Old_Size = Size;

important part is "*= Old_Size / Size;" multiply that by child scale and it will keep consistent size
