Description

Description:
Returns parent of an object if the object is proxy, otherwise objNull. In case of backpack, the parent is a weaponholder or a cargo space of a vehicle or the unit carrying it. Unit in a vehicle will return the vehicle as parent.

Another good use of objectParent is when a static weapon is known and one needs to check if it is assembled or not. objectParent _staticWeapon will return objNull if weapon is unpacked, or backpack object if packed.

When used on a soldier, if the soldier is in a vehicle, this command will return soldier's vehicle. Apart from being faster than vehicle command, it is also more reliable, as when used on dead crew inside a vehicle, it returns the vehicle object, where as vehicle command may surprisingly return unit object instead. For example, to delete a unit which is in a vehicle, execute: objectParent _unit deleteVehicleCrew _unit;
