Description |
NatinyEntity |
Parent entity handle, or 0 when the node has no parent |
Example
C
NatinyEntity root = hand;
while (natiny_entity_get_parent(root) != 0)
root = natiny_entity_get_parent(root);
Notes
0 is the same value natiny_entity_set_parent takes to detach a node, so
a value read here can be written straight back.- A parent that has since been destroyed is reported as
0. That is what the
transform already does with it: a released slot is treated as no parent, and
the child's local transform is its world one.
- A handle that is not a live node returns
0.
