create object help

Hi,

I am trying to generate an object from my players current position with an offset of 2. Basically a cube appears 2 spaces infront of player upon entering a trigger.

I have know issue with the trigger part and understand there is a create object action, but how do I get the players position over to the generated object?

Hope I'm making sense

There are a lot of ways to do it. On of them bellow:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.   Vector3 placeOverPlayer = Vector3.zero;
3.    
4.    GameObject player = GameObject.Find("My-Player-Object-Name");
5.    if(player != null)
6.    {
7.      Vector3 playerPosition = player.transform.position;
8.      placeOverPlayer = playerPosition + Vector3.up * 2;
9.    }
10.    else
11.    {
12.      /// oops, player object was not found
13.    }
