    If that's not what you want, I'm not sure what you're really after. An object's right direction is defined in world space. Asking for it in local space is 1,0,0 by definition, no?

    Maybe if you explain what you're trying to do in more detail, someone can help.

    ok I have a player (capsule) and I want to check if there is a wall to his right so I use raycast to check this so I start it at his transform and the direction is this.transform.right . but when I debug it points to 1,0,0 not to his right.

    FIXED:

    Just fixed this by adding an empty gameObject on the right side of the player then going:
    emptyObjectSignallingRightPos-playerPos
