ManipulationParent

Transform container for preview objects during manipulation. Applies rotation and scale; children inherit the transform through the scene tree. This is the canonical transform parent used by GridPositioner2D and the GridPlacementHost pattern. 2D rule indicators stay axis-aligned: IndicatorManager keeps per-cell overlays free of this parent's transform so overlay art stays readable while the preview object itself inherits it (or frame-swaps). Isometric placement guides and docs/systems/parent_node_architecture.md cover parenting decisions.

Syntax

class ManipulationParent extends PlacementNode2D

Members

Name	Kind	Summary
rotated	Signal	Emitted after a rotation transform is applied, for every rotation path (grid clockwise/counter-clockwise and apply_rotation()), from both input-driven and programmatic (ManipulationService2D) callers. Consumers may swap a directional sprite instead of spinning the texture; that choice is entirely theirs (see the manipulation guide). new_rotation_degrees Resulting Node2D.global_rotation_degrees. cardinal Best-effort nearest cardinal facing; most meaningful for 90-degree grid increments.
flipped	Signal	Emitted after a flip transform is applied. One signal for both axes; branch on axis (PlacementEnums.FlipAxis). Mirrors the signal-consolidation direction of ManipulationState.action_performed.
