Difference between transform.forward and transform.position.z?
I'm confused over what the difference between transform.forward and transform.position.z are.
The Unity Script Reference describes Transform.position as "the position of the transform in world space" and Transform.forward as "the blue axis of the transform in world space." Does this mean transform.forward is an alias for transform.position.z or am I missing something here?

transform.forward is the forward direction (not position) for an object. Note that the blue axis for an object does not necessarily align with the world Z axis; it depends on how the object is rotated. transform.position.z is, as noted, the position in world space.
