Parent Pivots

Is there a way to parent pivots to an object? Whenever I do it, they are listed as parented, but do not move with the object that they are parented to.

Your code is probably buggy. Do you see??

Anyway...

Sounds to me like you're checking that its moving (or not) with EntityX/Y/Z. By default these return the pivot's position relative to its parent object.

If memory serves, use EntityX/Y/Z,True to return the global position rather than the local one.

No. I was checking that they are parented via CountChildren, and it is listed as parented correctly.

The purpose of these pivots is to be a spawn point for particles on the entity (like the mouth of a moving dragon, or the exhaust pipe of a moving car). After parenting, when I create particles at the spawn points, they are instead created at 0, 0, 0.

Now that I think about it, I *might* have created the particles at 0, 0, 0, but not moved them to the spawn points via PositionEntity. I'll check that.

Sounds like you are moving the child object and not the parent.

Parents do not move with their children but children move with their parents...its a one way thing.

You need to make the object the parent and the pivots children of that object.

That's what I did... sorry for my poor wording.

Okay, I figured it out. It turns out that Gfk was right, but I didn't read his post all the way, so I had to figure it out myself.

Thanks, Gfk.
