Offset transform.parent.position - Help
Hello,
I have a projectile that is instantiated from the transform.parent.position and rotation, but I would like to offset the 'Z' position by positive 4.
How would I be able to achieve that?
function Fire(){
var clone : Rigidbody;
clone = Instantiate(RPGprojectile, transform.parent.position, transform.parent.rotation);
clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward * 10);
}
I tried doing:
var offset : Vector3;
offset = transform.parent.position + Vector3(0,0,4);
But then that resets X and Y to 0. I also tried:
var offset : Vector3;
offset = transform.parent.position + Vector3(transform.parent.position.x,transform.parent.position.y,4);
But that goes a little funny when I move my character - the X and Y positions seem to change.
Please help.

Have you tried:
function Fire(){
var pos : Vector3
var clone : Rigidbody;
pos = Vector3(transform.parent.position.x,transform.parent.position.y,transform.parent.position.z + 4);
clone = Instantiate(RPGprojectile, pos, transform.parent.rotation);
clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward * 10);
}
I hope this helps.
I have - this does work. BUT - I when I move my character around the projectile spawn is offset -- Is it because its reading Global? For Example... When I start the game and fire - it spawns correctly, when I rotate character to the right, the projectile spawns to the left of me.
