Calc 30° left and x units forward from local forward axis
I have a GameObject (GO) named X and it is rotated somehow. Now, I want to calculate the position and orientation for another GO named Y, that shall be 30 units away and 30° left measured from the local Z forward axis. Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks!

You can get the position this way:
var dir = Quaternion.AngleAxis(30, transform.up) * transform.forward;
var pos = transform.position + dir * 30;
From your question, I don't understand the orientation. You might want:
var rot = Quaternion.AngleAxis(30, transform.up) * transform.rotation;
Brilliant, thanks for the quick answer, that solved it!
