Question by MrKagouris · Oct 08, 2016 at 04:05 PM · transform.positiontransform.translate

Doing something wrong with transform.position and transform.Translate

Here's my script:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class AspRatCheck : MonoBehaviour {
 
     void Start () {
 
         // Declares variable for aspect ratio and Boolean variables that check for aspect ratio equality
         float BordX = 0;
         float ScreenAspect = Screen.width / Screen.height;
         bool check169 = ScreenAspect == 16.0f / 9.0f;
         bool check1610 = ScreenAspect == 16.0f/ 10.0f;
         bool check219 = ScreenAspect == 21.0f / 9.0f;
         bool check43 = ScreenAspect == 4.0f / 3.0f;
         bool check54 = ScreenAspect == 5.0f / 4.0f;
 
         // Checks all Boolean variables to find current display aspect ratio and assigns value to BordX
 
         if (check169) {
             BordX = 3.75f;
         } else if (check1610) {
             BordX = 3.4f;
         } else if (check219) {
             BordX = 4.9f;
         } else if (check43) {
             BordX = 2.85f;
         } else if (check54) {
             BordX = 2.65f;
         }
 
         // Declares Vector3 for border transform coordinates and sets transform coordinates
 
         Vector3 borderVect = new Vector3(BordX, 0.0f, 0.0f);
         transform.Translate(borderVect);
 
     }
 
 }
 

It's basically meant to check which aspect ratio the display is using (I'm forcing the Unity game view to use one of them) and position 2 game borders accordingly, but it just doesn't. Nothing happens, no matter what aspect ratio I'm using. I've tried both "transform.position = borderVect" and the above to no avail. I'm only a beginner with C# so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, can someone please help me?

As it turns out ScreenAspect was getting an integer value because Screen.width and Screen.height are both integers, so I had to set separate float variables for both and then divide those variables instead, and also use transform.position.
