VirtualParent component as seen in the Scene Inspector

Description

The Virtual Parent Component is used to make a Slot act as the child of another Slot without needing to be in the normal hierarchy order. This can be useful when you need it to respond in a certain way using transforms of the overriding parent.

The Virtual Parent Component will not automatically update the slot unless the overriding parent slot has moved, rotated, or scaled (or in some way updated its current transform)

The different ways to force this Slot (that has the Virtual Parent Component on it) to update its own transform, is to move it by grabbing it, using other components to move it, or using Flux.

You can use the provided local offset fields to then further position this slot from its virtual parent.
