Cannot modify the return value of 'Transform.postion' because it is not a variable.

I'm trying to code in a script in my Unity3D game to have my Player lock in position until the timer ends, I'm really bad at coding so I've already tried looking for fixes but none seem to work, How do I do this properly without getting any errors like Cannot modify the return value of 'Transform.postion' because it is not a variable? (Also this script is attached to my Player)![alt text][1]

The code for the script is `using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SimpleTimer : MonoBehaviour
{

public float targetTime = 22.0f;

public void Update()
{

targetTime -= Time.deltaTime;

if (targetTime <= 0.0f)
{
timerEnded();
}

if (targetTime <= 22.0f)
{
transform.position.x = 0.0f;
transform.position.y = 0.0f;
transform.position.z = 0.0f;
}

}

void timerEnded()
{
transform.position.x = 1.0f;
transform.position.y = 1.0f;
transform.position.z = 1.0f;
}


}

`
I probably messed up this code so hard... ‍♂️

 

Instead of

Code (CSharp):

1. transform.position.x = 1.0f;
2. transform.position.y = 1.0f;
3. transform.position.z = 1.0f;

use

Code (CSharp):

1. transform.position = Vector3.one;

or

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector3.zero

 

Does Vector3.one mean It's not locked and does Vector3.zero mean it is locked?

 

Vector3.zero is the same thing as

new Vector3(0, 0, 0)

and Vector3.one is the same as

new Vector3(1, 1, 1)

Your compile error though is because you have to replace the whole position at once, you can't just change one of the values like that.

 

Okay, Well I'm wanting unlock the postion when the timer ends, How do I do that?

 

Cause doing transform.position = Vector3.zero; just... well, Locks it in the zero position.

 

Does your player have a Rigidbody attached?

 

yes

 

Try

GetComponent<Rigidbody>.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.FreezeAll

and

GetComponent<Rigidbody>.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.None

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class SimpleTimer : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.  
7.     public float targetTime = 22.0f;
8.  
9.     public void Update()
10.     {
11.  
12.         targetTime -= Time.deltaTime;
13.  
14.         if (targetTime <= 0.0f)
15.         {
16.             timerEnded();
17.         }
18.  
19.         if (targetTime <= 22.0f)
20.         {
21.             GetComponent<Rigidbody>.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.FreezeAll;
22.         }
23.  
24.     }
25.  
26.     void timerEnded()
27.     {
28.         GetComponent<Rigidbody>.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.None;
29.     }
30.  
31.  
32. }
33.  

that my code now and I'm getting errors

 

Sorry I made a typo:

Try

GetComponent<Rigidbody>().constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.FreezeAll

and

GetComponent<Rigidbody>().constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.None

 

Thanks, But the timer doesn't work which sucks... Thanks so much tho!

 

fixed the timer
