Detailed Description

Component managing an Entity's scene graph relationships.

Note
Ecs::SetParent() offers a simpler method for updating Hierarchies compared to direct component modification.

A Hierarchy component is automatically attached to an Entity on creation, with its initial parent value taken from the EntityInfo struct. Root Entities have their parent set to Entity::Null(). A Hierarchy may be directly modified, but care must be taken to ensure related Hierarchy objects are updated accordingly. Ecs::SetParent() automatically handles this and should be preferred over direct modifications.
