Transform.root

var root : Transform

Description

Returns the topmost transform in the hierarchy.

(This never returns null, if this Transform doesn't have a parent it returns itself.)

JavaScripts

// Is a collision between two objects in different hierarchies?
function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision) {
if ( collision.transform.root != transform.root ) {
print("The colliding objects are not in the same hierarchy");
}
}
