Is it safe not parenting an instance to anything?

Asked by

So I am working with viewport frames and I . noticed that I don't need to parent the Camera to anywhere and still set the CurrentCamera of the ViewportFrame using the variable

But I was wondering if this is safe

I want to do this to make it non complicated if you know what I mean

Basically this

local Camera = Instance.new('Camera')
local Viewport= Instance.new('ViewportFrame')

Viewport.Parent = script.Parent -- Frame
Viewport.CurrentCamera = Camera -- Using the variable

But does this all stack up

Roblox won't suddenly destroy the instance if its parented to nil. Otherwise, any code using Instance.new would break because the object is parented to nil. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 4y
