    Hi, I am new to Unity and I'd like to make an object to move with another 0.20 units far from the first object(local direction) so I use transform. position.x + 0.20 (for X and Z too). Yes it follows it but in world directions :(. How can I change it :)

    Thanks for reply!

    transform.Translate(transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward));

    transform.position += transform.forward * (units per second) * Time.deltaTime;

    transform.(forward, left, right) is always in local coordinates.
    You can also use transform.TransformDirection, but if you're just going to use Vector3.forward as the argument it's much simpler to use transform.forward.
