Parenting Object Under a Virtual Camera

Hello!

I often find myself wanting to parent objects under a VCAM set to POV to take advantage of the POV controls.

My use case is things like cannons or something that you shoot from. Except it seems that objects nested under the VCAM don't inherit any sort of translation/rotation data like I would expect? Whenever I activate them my child geometry and spawn positions for projectiles just stay where they are (don't rotate).

Is there something I'm doing wrong or a checkbox I'm missing somewhere?

Thank you!

The issue is that different cameras (or cannons in my case) have different spawn points/nested models that need that info? So doing it in the hierarchy would be more convenient and less redundant?

Is there any other way I could use the vcam's transform to GET the data so it can be a little more self contained within things like prefabs? Having to constantly source the cameras transform data (and needing to wait til transitions are over etc) seems like a large margin for error :/

Totally could be a rookie mentality I'm having, but I just feel like it would make more sense?

best,

Excellent! Thank you so much for the info, it means a lot to me
