The GetComponentInParent<T> method is used to retrieve a component of type T from the current GameObject or any of its ancestor GameObjects in the scene hierarchy. This method is useful when you need to access a component that might be located on a parent object rather than the current object itself.
To use this method, specify the type of component you are looking for as the generic type parameter T. The method takes two boolean parameters:
includeDisabled: If set to true, the method will consider components that are disabled. If false, only enabled components will be considered.includeSelf: If set to true, the method will include the current GameObject in the search. If false, the search will start from the parent of the current GameObject.// Example usage of GetComponentInParent<T>
var component = gameObject.GetComponentInParent<MyComponent>(includeDisabled: false, includeSelf: true);
if (component != null)
{
// Do something with the component
}
