Parents keep children alive

[SpiderPig]

I've probably asked this before but just want to check... should a parent keep its child alive?  This is the only way to delete an entity with a parent.

entity->SetParent(nullptr);
entity = nullptr;

I would hope so 🤣

This makes sense but I understand why this would be annoying.

Yes, this is the correct behavior. Otherwise if you loaded a model, all the limbs would get deleted automatically unless you created a variable for each object in the hierarchy.
