# fz_anim_enty_world_2_parent

Description

Converts a point with coordinates defined by coordinates in world space to coordinates in an animated entity's coordinate . Note that parent entity nodes define the coordinate for their children entity nodes. So, pass in the parent node for anim_node.
Points retrieved from entities through API functions are usually defined in world space. To figure out what that coordinate translates into in the entity's parent space coordinates, use this function.
