Cannot convert 'UnityEngine.GameObject' to 'UnityEngine.Transform'

Question

Hi. I'm working on a voxel project, and to place blocks I have this code:

 #pragma strict
 
 var DirtPrefab : Transform;
 var placePointTransform : Transform;
 
 function Start () {
     placePointTransform = GameObject.Find("PlacePoint");
 }
 
 function Update() {
     var Block : Transform = Instantiate( DirtPrefab, placePointTransform.position,
 
 Quaternion.identity ); }

I have a prefab called Dirt, and I have an object called PlacePoint, located exactly like a crosshair in front of the player. This is the great script of alucadj, but if you can't fix it, just sent me a minecraft project at micaelunity22@gmail.com

What is happening is that you are getting a gameobject(with GameObject.Find) and you want to are passing it as a transform. Instead of this:

 function Start () {
     placePointTransform = GameObject.Find("PlacePoint");
 }

Replace it with this. \

 function Start () {
     placePointTransform = GameObject.Find("PlacePoint").transform;
 }
