Get relative Location from other component?

Hello,

does anyone know how i can get the relative location from my camera and use it in the coordinate system of my hand?

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public class ExampleHand : MonoBehaviour
2.     {
3.         public Camera playersCamera;
4.  
5.         public Vector3 GetRelativeLocation()
6.         {
7.             return transform.InverseTransformPoint(playersCamera.transform.position);
8.         }
9.     }

That will get you the position of the camera in the hand's local space.

Look at these for reference:

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.TransformPoint.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.InverseTransformPoint.html

 

Can i convert this world position to a local position of my hand component?
Or is there a easier way to get the relative 0 aka center of the camera position?

 

Yes, that's exactly what my example script does.

playersCamera.transform.position - That is the world position camera.

transform.InverseTransformPoint - This method takes a world position, and turns it into a local position of whatever transform you call it from. In this case we're calling it from the ExampleHand's transform. Meaning that the Vector3 returning from that method will be the hand's local position equivalent of that world position.

Hope that helps.

 

do i dont need to calculate the world position of the camera

 

Not at all. Find the GameObject of the camera, and it will have a 'transform' component built in. It will have a 'position' variable. That is always the position that object is in at the time of calling it. So calling camera.transform.position, is the calculated world position of the camera.

 

You know i want to make ads with that, is there a 'easier' way doing that? Do you think it will work?

 

What are you trying to do?

 

Sry for my bad english. I want to make a little shooter. For that i need a Aim down Sights for my weapons.
In this method I need to adjust the ads position in the editor that my gun sight is centered in the screen(very annoying)

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void AimDownSights()
2.     {
3.         if (Input.GetButton("Fire2") /*&& !isReloding*/)
4.         {
5.  
6.             transform.localPosition = Vector3.Lerp(transform.localPosition, aimPosition, Time.deltaTime * adsspeed);
7.         }
8.  
9.         else
10.         {
11.             transform.localPosition = Vector3.Lerp(transform.localPosition, originalPosition, Time.deltaTime * adsspeed);
12.         }
13.  
14.     }

I just want to get the relative position 0 of the camera for my ads?
Do you understand this?
