Getting Transform info of objects

[RussellFincher]

So I’m pretty new to scripting, and teaching myself about Lerping today. I have a script that moves an object from one position/rotation to another. But I want to understand how to get the current Transform info from the object that the script is a component of and the Transform of another object to be used as the target of the Lerp. Currently my simple lerping script just sends from a specific position/rotation to another:

var Begin_Rotation = Vector3(0,261.2132,349.1754);
var End_Rotation = Vector3(8.782372,269.7128,97.0043);
var timer = 0.0;
var speed = 0.5;

var Begin_Position = Vector3(-4.518043, 0.9568615, 1.280597e-05);
var End_Position = Vector3(3.576072, 0.8233643, -1.32454e-05);

    function Update(){
		
		timer += Time.deltaTime;

		transform.eulerAngles = Vector3.Lerp (Begin_Rotation, End_Rotation, timer*speed);
    	transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(Begin_Position, End_Position, timer*speed);
        
    }

Can someone explain the basics of getting objects’ Transform info?

It’s simply GameObject.transform.position. It is stored as a Vector3, and is null if your object has no transform component.

transform.position

You are already doing it. ‘transform’ is the Transform of the current gameObject.

Thanks, fellas. That worked. Embarrassingly simple, in retrospect. Boy do I have a lot to learn.

var destinationObject: GameObject;

var timer = 0.0;
var speed = 0.5;

var Begin_Rotation = transform.eulerAngles;
var End_Rotation = destinationObject.transform.eulerAngles;
var Begin_Position = transform.position;
var End_Position = destinationObject.transform.position;

    function Update(){
		
		timer += Time.deltaTime;

		transform.eulerAngles = Vector3.Lerp (Begin_Rotation, End_Rotation, timer*speed);
    	transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(Begin_Position, End_Position, timer*speed);     
    }
