Quick Question About UnityScript
Is there an easier way to say this?
Vector3(transform.position.x,transform.position.y,transform.position.z-.5)
thanks!
in uJS :
var pos : Vector3 = transform.position;
pos = pos + Vector3( 0, 0, -0.5 );
or :
var pos : Vector3 = transform.position;
pos += Vector3( 0, 0, -0.5 );
or :
var newPos : Vector3 = transform.position + Vector3( 0, 0, -0.5 );
in C# :
Vector3 pos = transform.position;
pos = pos + new Vector3( 0, 0, -0.5 );
as I don't use C#, I am not sure if you can shorten that line to
pos += new Vector3( 0, 0, -0.5 );
but try it out.
or something else to try (this is probably the one you are after) :
Vector3 newPos = transform.position + new Vector3( 0, 0, -0.5 );
Edit : so I fail for not reading the title and the question correctly ! Have updated my answer, sorry (still waking up).
For doing what? Probably you can just use transform.position because this is already a Vector3 object.
i would like to have transform.position, just -.5 in the z...
In C# the best way of doing that is to do transform.position -= Vector3.forward * 0.5 but as fabio1955 says that's not a problem in Unity Script.
Actually I don't think so. Maybe you can store those values inside a Transform variable. It would make that one line shorter but you would still spend the time writing the variables. Those are your only options sorry about that!
It depends on what you are trying to do:
Move your object 0.5 units on the negative Z axis:
transform.position.z -= .5;
Perhaps you need to do this on its local axis again depending on what your goal is:
transform.localPosition.z -= .5;
