ClosePosition, rotation and scale of an object.
Every object in a Scene has a Transform. It's used to store and manipulate the position, rotation and scale of the object. Every Transform can have a parent, which allows you to apply position, rotation and scale hierarchically. This is the hierarchy seen in the Hierarchy pane. They also support enumerators so you can loop through children using:
using UnityEngine;
public class Example : MonoBehaviour { // Moves all transform children 10 units upwards! void Start() { foreach (Transform child in transform) { child.position += Vector3.up * 10.0f; } } }
See Also: The component reference, Physics class.
childCount | The number of children the parent Transform has. |
eulerAngles | The rotation as Euler angles in degrees. |
forward | Returns a normalized vector representing the blue axis of the transform in world space. |
hasChanged | Has the transform changed since the last time the flag was set to 'false'? |
hierarchyCapacity | The transform capacity of the transform's hierarchy data structure. |
hierarchyCount | The number of transforms in the transform's hierarchy data structure. |
localEulerAngles | The rotation as Euler angles in degrees relative to the parent transform's rotation. |
localPosition | Position of the transform relative to the parent transform. |
localRotation | The rotation of the transform relative to the transform rotation of the parent. |
localScale | The scale of the transform relative to the GameObjects parent. |
localToWorldMatrix | Matrix that transforms a point from local space into world space (Read Only). |
lossyScale | The global scale of the object (Read Only). |
parent | The parent of the transform. |
position | The world space position of the Transform. |
right | The red axis of the transform in world space. |
root | Returns the topmost transform in the hierarchy. |
rotation | A Quaternion that stores the rotation of the Transform in world space. |
up | The green axis of the transform in world space. |
worldToLocalMatrix | Matrix that transforms a point from world space into local space (Read Only). |
DetachChildren | Unparents all children. |
Find | Finds a child by name n and returns it. |
GetChild | Returns a transform child by index. |
GetLocalPositionAndRotation | Gets the position and rotation of the Transform component in local space (that is, relative to its parent transform). |
GetPositionAndRotation | Gets the position and rotation of the Transform component in world space. |
GetSiblingIndex | Gets the sibling index. |
InverseTransformDirection | Transforms a direction from world space to local space. The opposite of Transform.TransformDirection. |
InverseTransformDirections | Transforms multiple directions from world space to local space overwriting each original position with the transformed version. The opposite of Transform.TransformDirections. |
InverseTransformPoint | Transforms position from world space to local space. |
InverseTransformPoints | Transforms multiple positions from world space to local space overwriting each original position with the transformed version. |
InverseTransformVector | Transforms a vector from world space to local space. The opposite of Transform.TransformVector. |
InverseTransformVectors | Transforms multiple vectors from world space to local space overwriting each original position with the transformed version. The opposite of Transform.TransformVectors. |
IsChildOf | Is this transform a child of parent? |
LookAt | Rotates the transform so the forward vector points at /target/'s current position. |
Rotate | Use Transform.Rotate to rotate GameObjects in a variety of ways. The rotation is often provided as an Euler angle and not a Quaternion. |
RotateAround | Rotates the transform about axis passing through point in world coordinates by angle degrees. |
SetAsFirstSibling | Move the transform to the start of the local transform list. |
SetAsLastSibling | Move the transform to the end of the local transform list. |
SetLocalPositionAndRotation | Sets the position and rotation of the Transform component in local space (i.e. relative to its parent transform). |
SetParent | Set the parent of the transform. |
SetPositionAndRotation | Sets the world space position and rotation of the Transform component. |
SetSiblingIndex | Sets the sibling index. |
TransformDirection | Transforms direction from local space to world space. |
TransformDirections | Transforms multiple directions from local space to world space overwriting each original direction with the transformed version. |
TransformPoint | Transforms position from local space to world space. |
TransformPoints | Transforms multiple points from local space to world space overwriting each original point with the transformed version. |
TransformVector | Transforms vector from local space to world space. |
TransformVectors | Transforms multiple vectors from local space to world space overwriting each original vector with the transformed version. |
Translate | Moves the transform in the direction and distance of translation. |
gameObject | The game object this component is attached to. A component is always attached to a game object. |
tag | The tag of this game object. |
transform | The Transform attached to this GameObject. |
hideFlags | Should the object be hidden, saved with the Scene or modifiable by the user? |
name | The name of the object. |
BroadcastMessage | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children. |
CompareTag | Checks the GameObject's tag against the defined tag. |
GetComponent | Gets a reference to a component of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified. |
GetComponentInChildren | Gets a reference to a component of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, or any child of the GameObject. |
GetComponentInParent | Gets a reference to a component of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, or any parent of the GameObject. |
GetComponents | Gets references to all components of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified. |
GetComponentsInChildren | Gets references to all components of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, and any child of the GameObject. |
GetComponentsInParent | Gets references to all components of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, and any parent of the GameObject. |
SendMessage | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object. |
SendMessageUpwards | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object and on every ancestor of the behaviour. |
TryGetComponent | Gets the component of the specified type, if it exists. |
GetInstanceID | Gets the instance ID of the object. |
ToString | Returns the name of the object. |
Destroy | Removes a GameObject, component or asset. |
DestroyImmediate | Destroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead. |
