transform.DetachChildren() is deactivating my children's scripts after detaching from the parent

I'm using transform.DetachChildren() in the OnDestroy() method to have my children be unaffected by the destruction of the parent game object. The problem I have is: transform.DetachChildren() is deactivating my children's scripts after detaching from the parent. is there a way to have my children that are detached to remain active after detaching them from their parent. private void OnDestroy() { foreach (Transform childT in transform) { childT.parent = FindObjectOfType().enemyContainer.transform; //childT.GetComponent().currentHealth = 0; //childT.parent = null; } //transform.DetachChildren(); deactivates the scripts }
