transform position of an UI-image (Unity5)
I want to take the x- and y-position of an gameobject, to set the position of an image in realtime. This is what I have so far:
float posX;
float posY;
public Vector2[] symbPosition;
getSymbolPos(int ID)
void getSymbolPos(int ID)
{
posX = symbPosition[ID].x;
posY = symbPosition[ID].y;
}
void Update()
{
//here I take the x and y position of the gameobject that can be moved via reactivision-markers
symbPosition = citygrid.Instance.posTUIO;
for (int i = 0; i < symbPosition.Length; i++)
{
getSymbolPos(i);
if (GameObject.Find("Canvas/Image") != null)
{
//works so far. I get an output and it changes as soon as I move the object)
Debug.Log("blub4: " + posX);
GameObject.Find("Canvas/Image").transform.position = new Vector3(this.posX, 10, this.posY);
}
}
But the image doesn't move with my gameobject. I think, I can't get access to the rectTransform with .transform.position ... How can I set these parameters for my image? I appreciate any help!! Thank you in advance!

Have you tried using:
gameObject.GetComponent<RectTransform>().position;

gameObject.GetComponent<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition = new Vector2(xPos, yPos);
