    Hey! When I change entity parent in the editor it maintains its world position. When using TransformNode.parent the object is parented but it's local position is equal to the one before parenting, which is causing weird results. Is there a way to parent an object and maintain it's current world position?

    You will have to manually calculate a new local position to apply after setting its new parent so the world position will be the same.

    I was trying to do that by using the functions from TransformService like
    localPositionFromWorldPosition, but it looks like they don't work. Do you have any other ideas on how to calculate this new localPosition?
