Transforms don't have a C# example

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.html

At a guess: this is the most fundamental and significant part of Unity. And foundational, at its core, so to speak.

If it's not, it probably is for new users. A welcoming and insightful example would go a long way to helping them see how to access and move things... which (and I'm still guessing) might be imperative to games.

 

I’m not sure you are reading the script reference correctly.

 

Please, go on...

 

Check the properties of Transform (bottom of page). Click on position. https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform-position.html

 

argh, I see the problem. You've missed the part in bold:

" how to access and move things..."

 

The example on the page outlines this.

 

No, it outlines accessing the transform of the object 'self'. That's akin to accessing a component, not a thing. Components being parts of things as opposed to things in their own right.

Within Unity, as I understand it, Transforms, like GameObjects, are unique identifiers of things. Hence the point of the post.

But also because Transforms can be nested.

 

Transforms are components, like any other. A GameObject is indeed a unique identifier, and a list of Components.

You can see in the manual that Transform inherits from Component, its nothing special.

 

Congratulations.

You win the irrelevant and obtuse commentator of the month award. From me. Pat yourself on the back.
