# Objective
- Spawning a scene is handled as a special case with a command `spawn_scene` that takes an handle but doesn't let you specify anything else. This is the only handle that works that way.
- Workaround for this have been to add the `spawn_scene` on `ChildBuilder` to be able to specify transform of parent, or to make the `SceneSpawner` available to be able to select entities from a scene by their instance id
## Solution
Add a bundle
```rust
pub struct SceneBundle {
pub scene: Handle<Scene>,
pub transform: Transform,
pub global_transform: GlobalTransform,
pub instance_id: Option<InstanceId>,
}
```
and instead of
```rust
commands.spawn_scene(asset_server.load("models/FlightHelmet/FlightHelmet.gltf#Scene0"));
```
you can do
```rust
commands.spawn_bundle(SceneBundle {
scene: asset_server.load("models/FlightHelmet/FlightHelmet.gltf#Scene0"),
..Default::default()
});
```
The scene will be spawned as a child of the entity with the `SceneBundle`
~I would like to remove the command `spawn_scene` in favor of this bundle but didn't do it yet to get feedback first~

# Objective
Improve querying ergonomics around collections and iterators of entities.
Example how queries over Children might be done currently.
```rust
fn system(foo_query: Query<(&Foo, &Children)>, bar_query: Query<(&Bar, &Children)>) {
for (foo, children) in &foo_query {
for child in children.iter() {
if let Ok((bar, children)) = bar_query.get(*child) {
for child in children.iter() {
if let Ok((foo, children)) = foo_query.get(*child) {
// D:
}
}
}
}
}
}
```

Partially addresses #4864Fixes#1470
## Solution
Based on the great work by @deontologician in #2563
Added `iter_many` and `many_for_each_mut` to `Query`.
These take a list of entities (Anything that implements `IntoIterator<Item: Borrow<Entity>>`).
`iter_many` returns a `QueryManyIter` iterator over immutable results of a query (mutable data will be cast to an immutable form).
`many_for_each_mut` calls a closure for every result of the query, ensuring not aliased mutability.
This iterator goes over the list of entities in order and returns the result from the query for it. Skipping over any entities that don't match the query.
Also added `unsafe fn iter_many_unsafe`.
### Examples
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
struct Counter {
value: i32
}
#[derive(Component)]
struct Friends {
list: Vec<Entity>,
}
fn system(
friends_query: Query<&Friends>,
mut counter_query: Query<&mut Counter>,
) {
for friends in &friends_query {
for counter in counter_query.iter_many(&friends.list) {
println!("Friend's counter: {:?}", counter.value);
}
counter_query.many_for_each_mut(&friends.list, |mut counter| {
counter.value += 1;
println!("Friend's counter: {:?}", counter.value);
});
}
}
```
Here's how example in the Objective section can be written with this PR.
```rust
fn system(foo_query: Query<(&Foo, &Children)>, bar_query: Query<(&Bar, &Children)>) {
for (foo, children) in &foo_query {
for (bar, children) in bar_query.iter_many(children) {
for (foo, children) in foo_query.iter_many(children) {
// :D
}
}
}
}
```
## Additional changes
Implemented `IntoIterator` for `&Children` because why not.
## Todo
- Bikeshed!

# Objective
Support returning data out of with_children to enable the use case of changing the parent commands with data created inside the child builder.
## Solution
Change the with_children closure to return T.
Closes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/2817.
---
## Changelog
`BuildChildren::add_children` was added with the ability to return data to use outside the closure (for spawning a new child builder on a returned entity for example).
# Objective
- in #3851, a feature for tracing was added to bevy_transform
- usage of that feature was moved to bevy_hierarchy, but the feature was not updated
## Solution
- add the feature to bevy_hierarchy, remove it from bevy_transform
# Objective
- Provide more information when despawning an entity
## Solution
- Add a debug log when despawning an entity
- Add spans to the recursive ways of despawning an entity
```sh
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example panic --features trace
# RUST_LOG=debug needed to show debug logs from bevy_ecs
# --features trace needed to have the extra spans
...
DEBUG bevy_app:frame:stage{name=Update}:system_commands{name="panic::despawn_parent"}:command{name="DespawnRecursive" entity=0v0}: bevy_ecs::world: Despawning entity 1v0
DEBUG bevy_app:frame:stage{name=Update}:system_commands{name="panic::despawn_parent"}:command{name="DespawnRecursive" entity=0v0}: bevy_ecs::world: Despawning entity 0v0
```
# Objective
- Hierarchy tools are not just used for `Transform`: they are also used for scenes.
- In the future there's interest in using them for other features, such as visiibility inheritance.
- The fact that these tools are found in `bevy_transform` causes a great deal of user and developer confusion
- Fixes#2758.
## Solution
- Split `bevy_transform` into two!
- Make everything work again.
Note that this is a very tightly scoped PR: I *know* there are code quality and docs issues that existed in bevy_transform that I've just moved around. We should fix those in a seperate PR and try to merge this ASAP to reduce the bitrot involved in splitting an entire crate.
## Frustrations
The API around `GlobalTransform` is a mess: we have massive code and docs duplication, no link between the two types and no clear way to extend this to other forms of inheritance.
In the medium-term, I feel pretty strongly that `GlobalTransform` should be replaced by something like `Inherited<Transform>`, which lives in `bevy_hierarchy`:
- avoids code duplication
- makes the inheritance pattern extensible
- links the types at the type-level
- allows us to remove all references to inheritance from `bevy_transform`, making it more useful as a standalone crate and cleaning up its docs
## Additional context
- double-blessed by @cart in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4141#issuecomment-1063592414 and https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/2758#issuecomment-913810963
- preparation for more advanced / cleaner hierarchy tools: go read https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/53 !
- originally attempted by @finegeometer in #2789. It was a great idea, just needed more discussion!
