Cordinate System Question Parent/Child

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

So I have made a GameObject that acts as a container for all of the game pieces. This is the parent. I have a bunch of child objects.

I'm interested in one of the child objects position. But I don't quite understand when I output it's localposition it's a constant.

Can someone give me some information to the reason this is happening?

If the localPosition isn't changing that means the object isn't moving with respect to the parent.

You're a child of the Earth. If you stand still, from your perspective, you are not moving. But from an outside perspective both you and the Earth are moving very quickly. Same situation here.

The position of any object in world space is available as transform.position. http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Transform-position.html
