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.
