getting the transform.position of a public static Transform?

Any help would be grand!

I am trying to recieve the transform.position of a global Transform for a Spawn function.

Here’s what I am working with so far…

public class Creature_Movement : MonoBehaviour

{

public static Transform spawnPointForPlayer1;

public static void Spawn()

{

// reset the character's speed

movement.verticalSpeed = 0.0f;

movement.speed = 0.0f;



// reset the character's position to the spawnPoint

transform.position = Creature_Movement.spawnPointForPlayer1.transform.position;



}

}

So, what’s the problem? Although somewhat weird, this code should work. Static variables don’t appear in the Inspector - is this the problem? If so, you must assign the variable at runtime - maybe with a code like this:

void Start(){
  // find the empty object named "PlayerSpawnPoint":
  spawnPointForPlayer1 = GameObject.Find("PlayerSpawnPoint").transform;
}

But I wouldn’t use static functions and variables in this case - you will have trouble if more than one instance of this script exists, since a static variable is shared by all instances.
