Cube position loop (after scaling)

Questions & Answers

Hi, I’m having a bit of a headache here trying to create a formula that will put these cubes together after I scaled them to 0.5f. This is in C#, by the way.

As you see:

After scaling them down, they lost their main position. So, I need to increase/decrease the position (depending on the direction left or right) by 0.5f (minus or plus).

Here is the code:

        /* Dirt */
        for (int y = 0; y < 15; y++)
        {
            for (int x = 0; x < 15; x++)
            {
                GameObject cube = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
                cube.transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f);
                cube.renderer.material.mainTexture = dirt;
                cube.transform.position = transform.position - new Vector3(x, 0, y);
            }
        }

The reason I can’t really change the position of a cube and expect it to move is because it is in a loop, so all the cubes at the same time will go to the position you try and set in the new Vector3. All I want to do is put those blocks closer together! Any help is appreciated, this is giving a headache. :stuck_out_tongue:

Not tested but it looks like you could just multiply by .5f on your x and y position

cube.transform.position = transform.postion - new Vector3( x, 0, y) * .5f;
