but It seems to work strangely

Hi, the code you provided isnt correct - in three.js you can not assign the parent like that. You add the object to it.

this.gameObject.add(this.context.mainCameraComponent.gameObject) would be correct

this.gameObject.add(this.context.mainCameraComponent.gameObject)

i use this code but don't following parent Object
How can a camera follow a moving parent's object
Or is there a way to keep up with the movement without setting up a parent object?

Please answer the following:

  • Are you using any editor?
  • What's your current scene setup? Can you show your hierarchy in e.g. Unity/Blender/Code screenshots?
  • What's your goal? Do you plan to re-assign the parent?

One other easy way would be: add a SmoothFollow component to the camera object (either via Code or via Editor) and give it your new object as a target
