Question by connorwforman · Jun 26, 2017 at 11:13 PM · scriptingbasics

How to get an object's transform and move an object to that position?

PLEASE MAKE ALL SCRIPTS IN C-SHARP!!

Hello people of Unity! I am trying to create a FPS, and I need your help! I have a bullet and a bullet spawn point ready to go. The bulletSpawn is the parent object for the bullet, and I need a script (for the bullet) to access the bulletSpawn, and get the position, then move the bullet to the bulletSpawn's position.

The bulletSpawn is the parent. The bullet is a simple mesh sphere.

if the bullet is a child of the spawn point then just set it's transform to Vector3(0, 0, 0)

Child transforms are relative to the parent transform.

If the bulletSpawn is already the parent of the bullet, simply get a reference to it in Start (bullet script):

 Transform daddy;
 
 void Start(){
   daddy = transform.parent;
 }

But, if there's no previous connection between the bullet and the bulletSpawn object, you can create a field in the bullet script and drag the bulletSpawn on it in the Inspector, then save the bullet prefab:

 public Transform daddy; // drag here the bulletSpawn object

Anyway, move the bullet to the parent position with:

 transform.position = daddy.position;

Another alternative would be to set the bullet's localPosition to (0,0,0), as suggested by @jwizard93 in his comment.

 transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
