How to code the 'reverse action' of making one object child of another?

[mariochiesa]

I’ve understood how to make one object child of another

Having objects following the Camera in a semi-realistic fashion

Hello galileo-peter, the easiest way to make one object follow another is to create parent-child relation between them. There are two methods to create such relation. First method is attaching. It creates a relation and adjust child’s position. This method is described here, but it is not applicable for camera object since camera doesn’t have any slot for attaching. Second way is to make one object child of another without changing anyone’s position. Unfortunately at the moment it is possibl…

thanks

Hi mariochiesa,

you can remove an item from its parent by calling the following method:

item.removeFromParent()

Please note that this method is currently internal (it will not be recognised by your code editor, but it will still work). We plan to make this public along with other methods soon. Stay tuned!
