Parenting an instantiated prefab.

Question

Hello, I need help with instantiating a prefab and straight away parenting it to the HeadBone. Here is my current script, if it may help. Thanks in advance if anyone can help! :)

 var HairNumber : int = 0;
 var HairArray : Transform[];
 var HairBone : Transform;

 function Update(){
 if(HairNumber < 0){
 HairNumber = 1;
 }
 if(HairNumber > 1){
 HairNumber = 0;
 }
 }

 function OnGUI(){
 if(GUI.Button(Rect(10,450,140,140),"")){
 Hair();
 }
 }

 function Hair(){
 HairNumber +=1;
 if(HairNumber == 1){
 Instantiate(HairArray[0], HairBone.position, HairBone.rotation);
 //This is where I want to parent it to the HeadBone.
 }
 }

You could do:

 function Hair()
 {
   HairNumber +=1;
   if(HairNumber == 1){
      var myGo : GameObject; 
      myGo = Instantiate(HairArray[0], HairBone.position, HairBone.rotation) as GameObject;
      myGo.transform.parent = goFather.transform;
   }
 }

Just replace the goFather with the father game object.

When I do this, I get an error.

 'Assets/CharacterCreate/Scripts/CharacterCreate.js(695,11): UCE0001: ';' expected. Insert a semicolon at the end.'

Please help. :(

This mean that you forgot a semicolon. I did a copy and paste here and couldn't find any missing ';'

This is what you have??

 var HairNumber : int = 0;
 var HairArray : Transform[];
 var HairBone : Transform;
  
 function Update(){
   if(HairNumber < 0){
     HairNumber = 1;
   }
   if(HairNumber > 1){
     HairNumber = 0;
   }
 }
  
 function OnGUI(){
   if(GUI.Button(Rect(10,450,140,140),"")){
     Hair();
   }
 }
 
 function Hair()
 {
   HairNumber +=1;
   if(HairNumber == 1){
     GameObject myGO = Instantiate(HairArray[0], HairBone.position, HairBone.rotation) as GameObject;
     myGo.transform.parent = goFather.transform;
   }
 }

Even though there is no missing ';' it still says there is on this line :(

GameObject myGO = Instantiate(HairArray[0], HairBone.position, HairBone.rotation) as GameObject;

Sorryyyy... My bad... I was thinking in C# and you are using UnityScript...

I've updated it.
