Question Redirect for Transformation

I went to the unity Manual api and was looking for info on how to use transformation as a script, but it only showed as a property, how would i come about this?

 

I don't understand your question, I'm sorry.

Any script that inherits from

MonoBehavior

can access the

Transform

on the underlying

GameObject

by using the

transform

property.

 

Thanks man, you've been a really big help recently.
Would i need to do something like this?
transform.translate?

 

To do something like what? What are you trying to accomplish?

 

Let's say I spawn a cube and i put a script on it (void update because of i have a keybind set to it) to change Transform property -> scale to make it different scale when you click that key. I got the click key part
if(Input.GetKey("d"))
{
the script i'm trying to figure out how to make to transform scale here
}
i was wondering if transform.translate (2, 2, 2) for instance would work

 

You can think of the Transform component on the object as the set of transformations that are applied to the object. There are three main transformations you can change:

• Position
• Rotation
• Scale

Translation is a change to the position of the object. I don't think that's what you want. It sounds like you want to scale the object. You do this by changing the localScale property on the Transform. For example, to double an object's size you might do something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector3 currentScale = transform.localScale;
2. Vector3 newScale = currentScale * 2;
3. transform.localScale = newScale;

 

Yea thanks, haha. I was thinking a whole different bunch of stuff and Vectors never crossed my mind, haven;t used them much for it t cross my mind, thanks man big help for trying to understand what i was trying to say
