Parent Entity Screwing Up Entity Rotation

[Shard]

So I am trying to parent the camera to my characters head for a first person view. Of course I go ahead and find the child head and create a mesh for it and all that.

 

When I go to parent the camera to the head, the camera get tilted into one side. When I comment out the parenting, then its just fine.

 

//Parenting and Not Working

EntityParent(frameWerk->GetMain().GetCamera(),head);

 

Not much more to it than that.

I even tried getting the camera rotation before parenting and then setting it back to that rotation but that didn't work.

 

//Recording, Parenting and Resetting

TVec3 rot = EntityRotation(frameWerk->GetMain().GetCamera());
EntityParent(frameWerk->GetMain().GetCamera(),head);
RotateEntity(frameWerk->GetMain().GetCamera(), rot);

 

 

 

What should I do to fix this?

Use SetEntityMatrix/GetEntityMatrix instead of parenting. Parenting has lots of problems where positioning always works fine.

No luck. Same effect. Even tried a manual get/set pos and get/set rotation. No luck.

It sounds like your animation make the bone oriented in a way you did not intend. If you can post a demo showing your problem, someone can probably help you.

This happens even before I start the animation. As for a demo, I'm going off of the Animation tutorial directly.
