problem getting the position of the parent node in godot 4 gdscript

I am trying to get the position of the parent object but instead of returning its real value (0,80) in this case, it returns (0,0) This is the code for getting the position:

extends Node


var og_position:Vector2
var og_scale:Vector2
var og_rotation:float
var og_size:Vector2


@onready var animObj = get_parent()

func _ready():
    _set_originals()

func _set_originals():
    
    og_position = animObj.position
    og_scale = animObj.scale
    og_rotation = animObj.rotation
    og_size = animObj.size

    # Debug
    print(og_position)
    print(og_scale)
    print(og_rotation)
    print(og_size)

An image to describe the problem

I want og_position to return me the value (0,80), the relative position of the parent object.

EDIT: I'm thinking it's a godot problem, because if I put the code “og_position = animObj.position” it gives me (0,80), but in the ready it's still (0,0).

You can use global_position and all other transform properties are in global_*, such as global_transform, global_mouse_position and so on. This properties gives you that property relative to your main running game scene.
