How do I set the position of a GameObject?

Questions & Answers

So I wrote a script:

void Respawn () {

transform.position = new Vector 3 (-17.52, 3.95, 9.12); 

}

void Update () {
if (Input.GetButtonDown(KeyCode.R)) {
Respawn (); 
      }
}

Why is it not working when I press ‘r’?

If you look at the documentation for Input.GetButtonDown you’ll see that it expects a string representing a virtual button defined in the input manager. In theory your code wouldn’t even compile since KeyCode.R isn’t a string.

What you want instead is to use Input.GetKeyDown which looks for a key press.

void Update()
{
  if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.R))
  {
    Respawn();
  {
}
