Exporting Child from Bone have origin position values at the base of the bone, but not the tail end
I notice when parenting a child to the bone, I'm used to Maya/Unity's bone transform logic is set at the base of the bone. However in Blender, it's at the tail end. So the value might be zero-positioning in Blender, but not when you export it to other softwares like Unity.
In the screenshot, the box represents a gun holster. I've to give it an offset up a little from the tail being the pivot center in Blender so that in Unity, it's perfect zero-positioning.
This is a programming ethnic if they want to do any spawning or de-parenting things in realtime. But also as an animator, it would also help to animate without the offset in Blender to compensate it.

In Blender 5.2 you can choose if an object parented to a bone follows the head or the tail of the bone. That is under "Object Properties" -> Relations -> "Head/Tail"
Assuming that is what you meant.
That's what I wish for yes. But gets ignored during export for game-dev. If you set it to Head, during export, it is still placed at the tail end :(
However this would be an amazing solution if it works.
that sounds like a bug with the exporter that doesn't respect this new feature. Can you report that?
