Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Transform.DetachChildren() | Unparents all children. |
Transform.Find(n) | Finds a child by n and returns it. |
Transform.GetChild(index) | Returns a transform child by index. |

Extra Detail
Every object in a Scene has a Transform. It's used to store and manipulate the position, rotation and scale of the object. Every Transform can have a parent, which allows you to apply position, rotation and scale hierarchically. This is the hierarchy seen in the Hierarchy pane. They also support enumerators so you can loop through children using:
