Rotation script isn't working

Its a simple script I dont know where I’m going wrong I should know better

I’m trying to match one objects rotation with another. The script retrieves the rotation of the ship, which I have specified in the inspector and applies it to the object the script is applied to. No matter what I try, Ballrot always returns (0,0,0) no matter the rotation of the ship.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class HorizonScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Quaternion BallRot;
    public Transform ParentShip;

    private void HorizonRot()
    {
        ParentShip = GetComponent<Transform>();
        BallRot = ParentShip.transform.rotation;
        Debug.Log(BallRot);

        this.transform.rotation = BallRot;
    }

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        HorizonRot();
    }
}

im stumped
cheers

well, you acually pass the transform’s rotation to its transform rotation… if you want to use the parents rotation simply use this code:

transform.rotation = transform.parent.rotation;
