Moving an object a specific amount of units.
When I click on a game object, I'd like it to move a specific amount of units on my X axis. For Example, I have a cylinder, that when clicked on moves exactly 20 units on my X axis.
I don't want it to move to another object, just 20 units in a certain direction. If anyone could help me with this problem I'd be forever grateful.
When you detect the click just change the x position:
transform.position.x += 20;
This will change the position on the x axis 20 units, just make sure 'transform' is the transform of the object you want to move.
Thanks for your answer.
When I put that in I get this error: Assets/Scripts/Navigation.cs(35,35): error CS1612: Cannot modify a value type return value of `UnityEngine.Transform.position'. Consider storing the value in a temporary variable
I'm 100% clueless on what this means.
I'd reckon when I get this to work, the object would instantly blink to that position. I'd like to slide it 20 units with a certain amount of speed. Any ideas?
Thanks.
well I dont use C I'm more of a javascript guy :D I've never seen that error before.
For the sliding effect you could use a lerp, check this page for reference:

In C#, you have to do it this way:
Vector3 v3 = transform.position;
v3.x += 20.0f;
transform.position = v3;
Or you can do it this way:
transform.position += Vector3.right * 20.0f;
Or:
transform.Translate(20.0f,0.0f, 0.0f, Space.World);
