I am having fun with the new nodal animation but the Object Input node is not working the same way all the time. I used the viewer to see that an empty's location is listed as <0, 9.6, 48> however when I select the empty and click on the drag arrows to move it (this happens as soon as I click and hold, even before I start dragging) the values suddenly jump to <76, 228.92, 347.94>. They then proceed to change as expected if I move the empty but revert back to an offset of <0, 9.6, 48> when I release the drag arrows. It is worth noting, the <76, ..., ...> values match with the empty's Global Location.

This is becoming a big issue as I am attempting to use the empty as a target for a Look At node. However, for that system, I actually need the Global Location (trying to make an actuated piston that follows a target node). But because the target empty is the child of another empty, its Local Location is not actually changing when the parent moves so it isn't working as a target. But that is a separate issue.

Thank you for the amazing work!

Edit: Actually that "separate issue" is a pretty big one. Will there be any additions to the Transformation Input node to allow you to use the Global Location rather than the Local Location? It appears that when set as a child, an objects "global origin" is reset to match that of the parent object.
