Bug CS0200 Error when trying to move player gameobject

I am getting a "error CS0200: Property or indexer 'GameObject.transform' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only" on line 18. What does this mean, and how can I fix it? I am trying to make it so that when the Player touches anything with this script as a component, it will be sent back to the start. Also, this in a 2D project.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class PlayerKill : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public GameObject target;
8.    
9.     void Update()
10.     {
11.  
12.     }
13.    
14.     private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D player)
15.     {
16.         if (player.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
17.         {
18.             target.transform = new Vector2 (0,3);
19.         }
20.     }
21. }
22.  

 

.transform

is a read-only property of type Transform. Meaning, it's not a Vector2, nor can it be assigned to.

You probably mean to assign to it's

.position

property.

 

Thank you, this fixed the bug
