# SetParent

Set the parent transform.

## Syntax

```cpp
void SetParent(TransformComponent* parent, bool worldPositionStays = true);
```

## Parameters

- `parent` - The new parent transform, or `nullptr` to detach from parent.
- `worldPositionStays` - If `true`, the world position remains unchanged after reparenting.

## Remarks

Sets the parent of this transform. When `worldPositionStays` is `true`, the world position is preserved, which may adjust the local position. When `false`, the local position is preserved, which may adjust the world position.
