Might be a simple Question.. Question about locking and unlocking Vector3 coordinates

transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x,45.6f,transform.position.z);

if i write this code, then want to unlock the y coordinate in an If statement, how do i go about doing it ?

 

You mean like:

Code (csharp):

1. if(someBoolean)
2.     transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, 45.6f, transform.position.z);

?

I think I may be misunderstanding your question. If you only want the y value to be locked to a specific number in the case that a boolean value is on or off or w/e, then the above code should work fine. If you mean something else, then I'm not following.

 

i understand what you are saying but i have this problem. When i am in water, and go to the surface which is y = 45.6f, i want to lock that position since if i move a certain way, i walk into the air.
So i want to lock that position until i press a button.
if(Input.GetKey("q"))
{
// I AM ABLE TO MOVE THE Y AGAIN HERE
}

 

You mean like this?

Code (csharp):

1. private bool locked = false;
2.  
3. public void SomeFunction()
4. {
5.     if(Input.GetKey("q"))
6.         locked = false;
7.  
8.     if(!locked && transform.position.y > 45.6f)
9.         locked = true;
10.  
11.     if(locked)
12.         transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, 45.6f, transform.position.z);
13. }

You should probably also use a second boolean value like "in water" to determine if you're maneuvering yourself out of the water onto land, or else re-diving, when the "lock" breaks. Something like that...

 

Im having a stupid problem which I cant solve. When i use that correct code, and i hit the 45.6 > y , instead of locking the y, it teleports me into the air and when i land at 45.6, i teleport again into the air, idk why

 

Code (CSharp):

1. else
2.         {
3.             inWater = true;
4.  
5.             //rigidbody.isKinematic = false;
6.             chMotor.movement.gravity = 2;
7.             chMotor.movement.maxFallSpeed = 4;
8.             chMotor.movement.maxForwardSpeed = 4;
9.             chMotor.movement.maxSidewaysSpeed = 4;
10.  
11.             if(controller.velocity.magnitude > 0 && Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift))
12.                 {
13.                 chMotor.movement.maxForwardSpeed = 7;
14.                 chMotor.movement.maxSidewaysSpeed = 7;
15.                 staminaInfo.staminaBar.fillAmount -= 0.001f;
16.                 }
17.                 else
18.                 {
19.                     chMotor.movement.maxForwardSpeed = 4;
20.                     chMotor.movement.maxSidewaysSpeed = 4;
21.                 }

23.             if(Input.GetKey("q"))
24.             {
25.                 locked = false;
26.                 rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.down * 5, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
