solved ultimate parent of mesh

[babbleon]

Hello,

Say I have ParentName > ChildName1 > ChildName2 > ChildName3, is there a quick way to have Babylon tell me the name of the ultimate parent, no matter which child I choose?

I can get immediate parent using...

scene.meshes[i].parent

... but I need to go right to the top.

Cheers,

a recursive function

getLastParent(target){
if(target.parent.parent){
return  getLastParent(target.parent);

}else{
return target.parent

}
};

or something like that.

Cheers buddy!

This sorted it with a small tweak:

function getLastParent(target) {
	if (typeof target.parent != 'undefined') {
		if (target.parent.parent) {
			return getLastParent(target.parent);
		} else {
			return target.parent.name;
		}
	}
};
