# Parents

As you can see, parents are important in KapEngine. This functionnality allow you to move / rescale / rotate several GameObject in same time.

It's useful to make a clean project too.

To set the parent you can do this : 

```cpp
auto child = scene.createGameObject("My Child");
auto parent = scene.createGameObject("My Parent");

//first solution
child.setParent(parent);
//second solution
child.setParent(parent->getId());
```

## Other Functions

* allParentIsActive() : give you true if all parents are active or false if one of parents are disable
* getParentEntity() : Give you the parent Entity class
* getParent() : Give the shared\_ptr\<GameObject> of parent
* parentContainsComponent(nameComponent, recurcibely) : allow you to know if a parent contain a specific component. "recurcively" is an argument that do this function on all parents.
* parentContainsComponent(vector\<string> names, recurcibely) : like above function but with several components
* getParentContainsComponent(componentName) : give you the parent id that contain a specific component. If no component found : return 0.
* allParentsActive() : same as allParentIsActive but it is a const function
