Transform.forward

var forward : Vector3

Description

The blue axis of the transform in world space.

JavaScript
// Set's the rigidbody velocity to be 
// along the blue axis of the transform

rigidbody.velocity = transform.forward * 10;

Another example:

JavaScript
// Computes the angle between the target transform and this object
var angleBetween = 0.0;
var target : Transform;
function Update () {
var targetDir = target.position - transform.position;
angleBetween = Vector3.Angle (transform.forward, targetDir);
}
