This function can be used to parent one entity to another. A child entity will maintain the same local orientation when its parent moves.

Syntax

• void SetParent(Entity* parent, bool global=true)

Example

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;
Entity* entity = NULL;
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
    Leadwerks::Window* window = Leadwerks::Window::Create();
    Context* context = Context::Create(window);
    World* world = World::Create();
    Camera* camera = Camera::Create();
    camera->SetRotation(35, 0, 0);
    camera->Move(0, 0, -4);
    Light* light = DirectionalLight::Create();
    light->SetRotation(35, 35, 0);

    //Load a model
    entity = Model::Box();

    Entity* child = Model::Box(1, 1, 1);
    child->SetParent(entity);
    child->SetColor(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
    child->SetPosition(2, -2, 0);

    child = Model::Box(1, 1, 1);
    child->SetParent(entity);
    child->SetColor(0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
    child->SetPosition(-2, -2, 0);


    while (true)
    {
        if (window->Closed() || window->KeyDown(Key::Escape)) return false;

        Leadwerks::Time::Update();

        entity->Turn(1.0*Leadwerks::Time::GetSpeed(), 2.0*Leadwerks::Time::GetSpeed(), 3.0*Leadwerks::Time::GetSpeed());

        world->Update();
        world->Render();
        context->Sync();
    }
    return 0;
}
