How to Add Y Axis Offset to transform.localPosition on an Instantiated Prefab?

Question

Hi,

Can somebody help clarify how to add an offset to the Y Axis on an instantiated prefab?

I have:

 Instantiate(myPrefab,myPrefab.transform.localPosition,Quaternion.identity);

I need to add about a positive 2 or 3 to the Y Axis.

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

In your case I see two way to do it.

The first (and better for me) :

 Instantiate(myPrefab, myPrefab.transform.localPosition + (myPrefab.transform.up * 2), Quaternion.identity);

The second :

 Instantiate(myPrefab,new Vector3(myPrefab.transform.localPosition.x, myPrefab.transform.localPosition.y + 2, myPrefab.transform.localPosition.z),Quaternion.identity);

I hope this help.

You helped a bunch, thank you. I wasn't clear on the syntax.

I'm brand new to Unity and this was precisely the code I was looking for. Thanks!

Vector3 offset = new Vector3(0, 2, 0);

Instantiate(myPrefab, myPrefab.transform.localPosition + offset, Quaternion.identity);
