CloseTransforms position from local space to world space.
Note that the returned position is affected by scale. Use Transform.TransformDirection if you are dealing with direction vectors.
You can perform the opposite conversion, from world to local space using Transform.InverseTransformPoint.
#pragma strict public var someObject: GameObject; public var thePosition: Vector3; function Start() { // Instantiate an object to the right of the current object thePosition = transform.TransformPoint(Vector3.right * 2); Instantiate(someObject, thePosition, someObject.transform.rotation); }
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { public GameObject someObject; public Vector3 thePosition;
void Start() { // Instantiate an object to the right of the current object thePosition = transform.TransformPoint(Vector3.right * 2); Instantiate(someObject, thePosition, someObject.transform.rotation); } }
Transforms the position x, y, z from local space to world space.
Note that the returned position is affected by scale. Use Transform.TransformDirection if you are dealing with directions.
#pragma strict public var someObject: GameObject; function Start() { // Instantiate an object to the right of the current object var thePosition: Vector3 = transform.TransformPoint(2, 0, 0); Instantiate(someObject, thePosition, someObject.transform.rotation); }
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { public GameObject someObject;
void Start() { // Instantiate an object to the right of the current object Vector3 thePosition = transform.TransformPoint(2, 0, 0); Instantiate(someObject, thePosition, someObject.transform.rotation); } }
