Question by Rhylvin2015 · Jun 23, 2015 at 12:48 PM · transformpositionobject

How do you move an object through script

hello, I have a 2D game that I want it to have a CheckPoint function where when a player enters the checkpoint(this works)

if(col.CompareTag("Checkpoint")

{

     Debug.Log("CheckPoint");

}

it then moves the SpawnPoint to where the CheckPoint is. which is the position of the CheckPoint which is(494.21, -8.413, 0)

To make things simpler and understandable I just want to transform the spawnpoint with that position (494.21, -8.413, 0) ill take care of the if statements.

I don't understand why can't you do this simply with the transform.position attribute ...

You are dealing with collisions and can't set the position of a transform ? o.O

If you have a reference to the GameObject of the spawn in the script then you can just position it using:

 spawnObject.transform.position = new Vecvor3(x,y,0);

see the docs here.

It doesnt work the

PlayerSpawnPoint.transform.position = new Vector3(494.21, -8.413,0);

doesn't work. it has an error of "The best overloaded method match for 'UnityEngine.Vector3(float,float,float)' has some invalid arguments"

and another error "error CS1503: Arguments '#1' cannot convert 'double' expression to type 'float' "
