Unity Script Reference – Transform.TransformPoint

Transform.TransformPoint

function TransformPoint (position : Vector3) : Vector3

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.

JavaScripts

// 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 example : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject someObject;
public Vector3 thePosition = transform.TransformPoint(Vector3.right * 2);
void Awake() {
Instantiate(someObject, thePosition, someObject.transform.rotation);
}
}

import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

class example(MonoBehaviour):

public someObject as GameObject

public thePosition as Vector3 = transform.TransformPoint((Vector3.right * 2))

def Awake():
Instantiate(someObject, thePosition, someObject.transform.rotation)

function TransformPoint (x : float, y : float, z : float) : Vector3

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.

JavaScripts

// 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
thePosition = transform.TransformPoint(2, 0, 0);
Instantiate(someObject, thePosition, someObject.transform.rotation);

Instantiate(someObject, thePosition, someObject.transform.rotation);
}
}
