How to find the position a specific distance away in a specific direction?
I would like to find the position X meters away to the right of the player. This would not be along the global x axis since the player's right is not always pointing in the direction of the x axis. How can this be done?
Basically you want to return the position xyz based on the given distance from the origin?
Ok I have worked it out, the answer is to use Transform.TransformPoint and add the distance: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.TransformPoint.html
transform.right * distance
I tried this but it is moving the player diagonally (right and back) ins$$anonymous$$d of only right (sideways). Here is my code:
transform.position = Vector3.$$anonymous$$oveTowards(transform.position, transform.right distance, Time.deltaTime speed);
For some reason some commas and the * is being removed from my code above, but I think it is clear what I am trying to achieve.
