What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Verse

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Place a mesh_component on a child entity
  2. Make sure the mesh_component is visible, and has collision (will help later)
  3. In Verse use move the entity with the mesh_component to a new entity. Doesn’t matter if you remove from original parent first or straight to AddEntities()
  4. Set Child Entity GlobalTransform to Entity.GetParent.GetGlobalTransform just to confirm the parent swap worked.
  5. Execute the code and try to walk through the new parent entity. The collision is there, and all signs point to a successful parent transfer, but the mesh is no longer visible.

Expected Result

The entity with the mesh_component should remain visible when being removed from previous parent and attached to the new parent entity.

Observed Result

While the transfer from one parent to another is successful, and the collision working as expected, the is no longer visible.

Wanted to add I’ve found if the entity is a prefab that’s spawned AFTER the game has started the mesh remains visible and works as expected after swapping to a new parent.

If the prefab is created in the editor state (with an editable attribute for example) then the error still occurs, and the mesh isn’t visible after swapping parents. I hope this narrows it down.
