simSetObjectParent

Sets an object's parent object. Dynamically simulated objects, together with their hierarchy tree, are dynamically reset (this however does not apply to static shapes)

C++ synopsis

int simSetObjectParent(int objectHandle, int parentObjectHandle, bool keepInPlace)

Arguments

• objectHandle: handle of the object that will become child of the parent object. Can be or-combined with sim_handleflag_assembly if an assembly operation is desired instead (in that case, parentObjectHandle can't be -1, and keepInPlace should be set to false)
• parentObjectHandle: handle of the object that will become parent, or -1 if the object should become parentless. In an assembly operation, the assembly dummy on the parent object should be specified instead
• keepInPlace: indicates whether the object's absolute pose should stay same

Return

• -1 if operation was not successful
