Cant Set Object Position

Hi all,
I want to make an object a child of other object and change it's position by scripting.
This is my code:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class MiniMapCameraSetup : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public GameObject target;
7.  
8.     // Use this for initialization
9.     void Start () {
10.  
11.         this.transform.parent = target.transform;
12.  
13.         //Reset Position
14.         transform.position = new Vector3 (0, 60, 0);
15.         transform.rotation = new Quaternion (90, 0, 0, 0);
16.     }
17. }

The object does become a child but its position does'nt change.
What is the proper way of doing that?

Thanks.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. // The bool is called 'worldPositionStays'. Setting it to false changes the objects world position/scale/rotation relative to the parent.
2. transform.SetParent(target.transform, false);

One other thing, unless you really know what you're doing, it's generally best not to change Quaternion's by their raw numbers. If you're trying to go back to the initial rotation it's easily done with:

Code (CSharp):

1. transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;

 

Thank you for your quick reply Nigey.

When i set the parent like you i'm getting the same result, I'ts the other 2 lines that does not work correctly.
I want the object position and rotation will be at the exact values that i set them to, relative to the parent location (not 0,0,0 . Sorry if you misunderstood)

So i'm asking again the same question, How can i change the x,y,z values of an object's position and rotation by scripting?

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. transform.rotation=new Quaternion(90, 0, 0, 0);
3.  

NO

quaternions are not in degrees. Do not try to build quaternions like this. Use the "Euler" functions to turn degrees into quaternions.

 

you want transform.localPosition and transform.localRotation then

 

I wonder what the fourth angle would represent...
