== Notes == | |||
Most applications of this library will follow the same basic format as the setup described above: you'll define the position and rotation of some "child" relative to the "parent," and then apply a script that feeds the child, parent, relative position, and relative rotation into my library. | |||
Examples of parent-child relationships: | |||
* Keeping a Door inside of a door frame that can be moved at run-time | |||
* Keeping a Light anchored to a light source (e.g. wall sconce) that can be moved at run-time | |||
* Repositioning the invisible DummyBookMarkers in a bookshelf, when moving the bookshelf at run-time | |||
