Grabbing a vector3, from another object's Transform

Questions & Answers
1

Hello! I’m pretty new to Unity, and I’ve been pouring over the scripting reference trying to answer my own question, but something just doesn’t seem to be clicking in my head.

In a nutshell, this is what I’m trying to do:

I need a Vector3 in a script to be equal to the transform.position of a separate game object.

I can’t seem to wrap my head around the proper syntax for using a component from a different GameObject. This is the only thing I haven’t been able to figure out on my own, but I figured I needed to break down and ask the community.

I appreciate any answers I can get,

Thanks!

You need to get access to that other game object somehow. It can be by name, or by tag, or because you dragged and dropped it into a public variable in the current script. One example:

var myVector = GameObject.Find("Other").transform.position;

‘Other’ is the name of the other game object. ‘Other’ must exist or this line of code will throw and error.
