Transform.TransformPoint

Description

Transforms position from local space to world space.

Note that the returned position is affected by scale. Use Transform.TransformDirection if you are dealing with directions.

	// You need to assign an object to this variable in the inspector
	var someObject : GameObject;
	// Instantiate an object to the right of the current object
	var 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 = transform.TransformPoint(Vector3.right * 2);
    void Example() {
        Instantiate(someObject, thePosition, someObject.transform.rotation) as GameObject;
    }
}

Description

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.
