Parent of RectTransform is being set with parent property

[sebasrez]

Code: Select all

Parent of RectTransform is being set with parent property. Consider using the SetParent method instead, with the worldPositionStays argument set to false. This will retain local orientation and scale rather than world orientation and scale, which can prevent common UI scaling issues.

I am getting this error when I load game objects that have rects inside of them. I saw in other threads that this is possibly being updated? Or is this another matter entirely? Its a warning on load which is not terrible, but I have a lot of game objects being loaded which produces a lot of warnings. Is there any way to mitigate this?

Hi there,

This shouldn't be an issue in the latest versions of Easy Save. If you're already on the latest version, please could you send the full error message with line numbers?

All the best,
Joel

I should also note that these canvas objects are being placed into playmaker variables in its own gameobject.

Thanks, this has allowed me to see what is happening. It looks like the parent is being indirectly set from within the serializer for GameObjects.

I'll get this resolved in 3.5.2 and private message you the update in the meantime.

All the best,
Joel

Thanks Joel!

Sorry to necro but I'm encountering this again with version 3.5.19, although the package manager shows 3.5.18.
Attached is a screenshot of the package manager.

Hi there,

This is happening because you've created an ES3UserType for RectTransform and have selected the 'parent' property to be serialized. I strongly recommend using the built-in support for RectTransform instead, which uses SetParent() rather than saving and loading the parent property.

All the best,
Joel

Ok I found it. Looks like I did this years ago and it was forgotten about. I'll go through the types and clean out all the junk.
