Transform not being followed
When I parent a realtime transform to a non-network transform, then the realtime transform doesn't parent and goes to vector 0 on all clients. Why would this happen?

This issue is likely due to how Normcore handles the synchronization of
RealtimeTransform components. RealtimeTransform does not track the parent of a RealtimeTransform and cannot synchronize it at runtime. If a RealtimeTransform is reparented under another game object, and that game object is destroyed, it will take the RealtimeTransform with it, leading to inconsistent state between clients. This could be why your RealtimeTransform is not following its parent and is resetting to a position of vector 0 on all clients.
Instead of reparenting, you can create an empty game object on your player character at the pick-up point. Then use a script that synchronizes the world position of the pick-up point object and the RealtimeTransform object that you would like to pick up. This will give you the same visual result and will avoid bugs related to reparenting.

If the RealtimeTransform object has a Rigidbody on it, make sure to use the MovePosition() and MoveRotation() methods in FixedUpdate().
For more information, you can refer to the RealtimeTransform documentation (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/realtimetransform#extra-notes) and the Common Questions (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/common-questions#can-i-reparent-realtimetransform) section on the Normcore website.
