Parent
Property Object An object's parent
Description The hierarchical parent of the object. When no scripts hold references to an object, it will still be maintained as long as it's parent is set to an object which does have references to it, either by other objects or scripts. The toplevel Template:DataModel object (the one referred to as the "game" by scripts) has no parent, but always has a reference held to it by the game engine, and exists for the duration of a session.
Member of Instance


Example
print(script.Parent.Name)
-- "Workspace" should appear in the output window (only if the script
is located under Workspace).
