Finding another object's position?

Questions & Answers
1

Hello. This is a basic question, but how can I use GameObject.find in conjunction with transform.position to find the position of another object?

You can find any object by name using GameObject.Find(“name”), then access its transform directly:

  var pos = GameObject.Find("ObjectX").transform.position;

or save the GameObject reference in a variable, check if it exists, then get its position:

  var gObj = GameObject.Find("ObjectX");
  if (gObj){
      pos = gObj.transform.position;
  }

The second alternative takes a little more time, but avoids runtime NullReference errors when the object isn’t found - thus should be used when the object may not exist.

public Transform object;
and then to find the coordinates put: object.position.x or object.position.y where you need to find the coordinates
