Instance of prefab cannot be assigned position in code

Unity Engine

Halp!

I’m trying to instantiate a hat prefab and put it on my character’s head. To do this, I have a script on the head-bone, which instantiate my hat and sets itself as parent with

instance.transform.parent = transform;

All well and good except now my new instance gets a set of completely random local coordinates and rotation, so it ends up pretty much wherever it feels like! And even though I have a reference to it in my code, I can’t change its position. I know I can access it, since I can destroy it, but doing the below has NO impact:

GameObject lolresurs = (GameObject)Instantiate(Resources.Load("strawboaterzero"), Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);

lolresurs.transform.parent = transform;
lolresurs.transform.position = Vector3.zero;
lolresurs.transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

I was using transform.position when I should’ve been using transform.localposition! Silly me, I’m new to Unity obviously. Problem solved. ^^’
