How to Spawn Object at another Object's Specific x and z location but not it's y

Heyo, so i'm making a vr game currently and i'm trying to make an ability that when you press certain buttons on the remote it will spawn a fissure that that launches out across the terrain from the current remote location. so essentially instantiate an object at the remote's specific X and Z coords but setting the Y cord to 0 or if you have a better idea on how to do this that would be great haha. Currently i'm using this as a place holder to test to make sure it actually works since i have no idea where to start for this kind of instantiation,

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public void ifRightTriggerAndRightGripPress() {
3.         if (FissureCoolDown <= 0f) {
4.             Instantiate(Fissure, RightRemote.transform.position, RightRemote.transform.rotation);
5.             FissureCoolDown = 5f;
6.             SpellCounter = SpellCounter + 1;
7.         }
8.         print("Both Right Grip and Trigger Pressed");
9.         //Fissure
10.     }
11.  

if you have any ideas on how to do this that would be great thanks in advance.

 

I've never used VR, but assuming RightRemote.transform.position works...

Code (CSharp):

1. public void ifRightTriggerAndRightGripPress() {
2.         if (FissureCoolDown <= 0f) {
3.             Vector3 pos = new Vector3(RightRemote.transform.position.x, 0, RightRemote.transform.position.z);
4.             Instantiate(Fissure, pos, RightRemote.transform.rotation);
5.             FissureCoolDown = 5f;
6.             SpellCounter = SpellCounter + 1;
7.         }
8.         print("Both Right Grip and Trigger Pressed");
9.         //Fissure
10.     }
11.  

 

sorry for such a late reply I had to go to work, thanks though that worked perfectly now if i wanted to do the same thing for the rotation what would the syntax be for that?

 

Rotations are strange, its not like there is a 'ground level', so I dont understand what you mean. You can always do
RightRemote.transform.rotation to access the rotation, however, this is a Quaternion (complex mathematical 4-dimensional thing) and you never want to meddle with the individual components.

Now, if what you want is set any of the axis rotations (lets say, X to zero), you want to do euler angles:

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector3 eAngles = RightRemove.transform.eulerAngles;
2. Vector3 modifiedEAngles = new Vector3(0, eAngles.y, eAngles.z);
3. Quaternion finalRotation = Quaternion.Identity;
4. finalRotation.eulerAngles = modifiedEAngles;
5.  

And use "finalRotation" instead of "RightRemote.transform.rotation" when instatiating.
