This was a well made explanation what transform component does. Having developed a few school projects in unity i was not aware of the local component part. Good reminder on that for me. Thank you for your hard work.

@@CodeMonkeyUnity I have imported some assets and took some prefabs from there and I saw that the positions of the prefabs aren't (0, 0, 0) I tried to reset the positions of the prefabs but I can't it doesn't allow me to do that, is there a way to change it bcs the position of the Z axis is -1.96 but it needs to be 0 so that it is on my terrain and not below the terrain?
@@francek3892 Why can't you reset the position on the prefabs? You should be able to edit the position to anything you want Are you talking about creating them through code with Instantiate() ? The second parameter is the position
The Unity Api says "you should only apply absolute values, not increment them" for the transform.eulerAngles. Do I misunderstand the description, or is the shown example not recommended?
Hi I really like these types of videos where you explain how things work rather than "heres a code, copy it into your project", that I found in most of tutorials. I have to ask the "ChildTransform" is preset input? Also how would you handle situation where you got 2 or more children for that object. Lets say you got Player with weapon as 1st child and camera as 2nd.
What do you mean by preset input? The "ChildTransform" is just the name that I set on the child transform, it can be any name. You can have as many children as you want. You could have a Player game object and inside two children, a PlayerSprite and a Camera.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity see this is the problem. You put the code on the screen, but are not explaining it. If you make a beginner video, you need to explain it as if we know nothing.
What line are you referring to? transform.position = transform.position + new Vector3(0.01f, 0, 0) ? Sure you can do it many ways Vector3 newPosition = transform.position + new Vector3(0.01f, 0, 0); transform.position = newPosition; Or you could do transform.position += new Vector3(0.01f, 0, 0);
Hey, I know this is a bit old, but I had a question while I was watching the video. When you use the code to manipulate the rotation, the child object rotates around the parent object, treating the parent’s pivot like its own pivot. Is there a way to keep the parent-child relation, but prevent the child from rotating around the parent? That way they could still move in the line together, but just rotate in their own circles, rather than make one big one?
I'm not sure I understand, if you want to rotate just the child along the child axis then you can modify the child.localEulerAngles or child.localPosition Alternatively mabye you can unparent the child, move it, then re-parent it
I know this is 4 months late but something I could think of is storing the child's world rotation in a separate variable just before you transform the parent, and then immediately after apply the rotation back on to it? but this doesn't really sound like the best solution
When I put transform.position = transform. position + new Vector3(0.01f, 0,0); , my spritedid not move at all but when I set it in transform.position = transform. position + new Vector3(0.07f, 0,0); it moves I don't get it why plus i did exactly at 8:11 but i got an error which is NullReferenceException:object reference not set to an instance of an object ,don't know how to fix it.
Both those lines will move the transform, moving 0.07f units imply moves more than 0.01f If you're getting NullReferenceException on the line Debug.Log(childTransform.localPosition); then it means you have childTransform set to null. The variable is assigned in the previous line which does a transform.Find("ChildTransform"); so make sure the game object does have a child and the name is exactly "ChildTransform"
do you have to have like notepad+ in order to write scripts? or is it a setting thing? i started with a tutorial so i dont know if i need to "take off" the training wheels?
Code Monkey I appreciate that. I am doing this on a custom computer, and after rigorous googling I found that visual studio would’ve come pre installed if I didnt mess around with my install! Definitely subscribing your videos are more than helpful!
Thanks for the tutorial! Do you know if there's a way to change the movement direction based on a changing direction? I have a arrow gun that rotates to face my player but I have no idea how to make the arrows that shoot out shoot in the direction of my player if that makes any sense 😅
I have a question. There is a unit, the rotate character engine. I want to control this with keys, for example, when it is stationary, it returns when the key is pressed. GetKey commands don't work by the way. using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class Rotate : MonoBehaviour { public float RotationSpeed = 1f; private void Start() {
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Yes, that script attached to a game object, I want it to make a continuous rotation movement when I press "I" and then pull up. After that when I press "K" and then pull up, my gameobject must stop.
Unity keeps throwing compiler errors at me and Visual Studio won't pick up any of the function calls. Transform and debug just aren't registering to it and I'm not sure why. I made sure my code was identical to yours. I'm missing something I guess, but I have no idea what.
What compiler errors are you getting? Transform and Debug aren't being recognized in Visual Studio? Make sure you have the Visual Studio extension "Visual Studio Tools for Unity"
I don't think you can directly set the sprite in the constructor. The best way in terms of performance is: GameObject gameObject = new GameObject("mySprite", typeof(SpriteRenderer)); gameObject.GetComponent().sprite = mySprite;
Thanks! I just want to ask how do you get these tips for the code from Visual Studio. Mine doesn't work with the Unity commands such as transform or Time.time etc. Any help?
Hello I know this video is older and my question might not get answered, but I've noticed that since the transform function changes the position, scale, or rotation instantly. which could cause objects to just phase through it. but I want to transform an object the same way the inspector does it. here is my problem, its not the exact situation but ill simplify it. imagine a mesh collider wall that gets transformed to slide in a direction and what I want it to do is push on objects that it runs into and keep pushing them, just like how it would work if you just clicked on the X, Y, or Z values in the inspector and dragged them. but instead it just phases through all of the objects, even with a Lerp. but If I were to transform using the inspector, it does work exactly how I want it to. for the real situation that I am suffering through, I have a bunch of free floating "particles" or just spheres inside of a giant sphere, the big sphere has inverted normals so that the walls of the collider face the inside, not allowing anything to escape the inside of the sphere. I want to be able to scale the sphere up and down so that the particles inside of it would be forced to go to the center of the sphere, but I dont really want to add a force to the particles because every one of them already have a bunch of force calculations so they can attract and repel from each other
How thick is your wall? If it's super thin then it might cause issues but if it has enough thickness then it should work. As long as the distance for moving inside is shorter than moving outside the particle should move inside. Remember how the collider doesn't have to match the visual perfectly, you can make a thin wall visual with a thicker collider That's really it, changing it in the inspector or through code should have the same result, although when dealing with physics and scaling colliders things can become weird, the physics system does not like changing scales, if possible move the object instead of scaling.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity yeah, I'm going to make the particles take the radius of the circle and then use that to move the particles in and out of the center, thank you edit: also yeah I think the collider is infinitely thin
hello every body, i have a question in my mind for a long time and i will ask it here. what is difference between get the transform from a GameObject variable or Transform variable? i know you cant get a transform from GameObjects so why should i use Transform?
