JS to C# for Vector3 Position

Scripting C# & .NET
1

I have a simple script working in JS move the player to specific vector3 and I’m having issues converting to C#.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

if(shieldHealth <= 0) {
	
	transform.position = Vector3(0, 15, 0);
2 
if(shieldHealth <= 0) {
    
    transform.position = new Vector3(0, 15, 0);
}

Oops, that was a Copy/Paste error when I was placing it on the forums. Let me be more specific about the error. I thought the syntax looked correct for C# but I’m getting an error on this line saying:
Expression denotes Type where Variable or Method Group is expected
and
The Left hand side of the assignment must be a variable.

This sounds relatively simple, but not familiar enough with C#.

Hi Boomcrash,

transform.position = new Vector3(0, 15, 0);

That was the important bit. I guess the C# syntax sees ‘Vector3…’ as a type, whereas ‘new Vector3(…)’ evaluates to a variable of that type.

I personally find all those 'new’s annoying. You have to use them everywhere in c# like when constructing a rect to pass into a function, eg
GUI( new Rect(0,0,1,1) …);

OMG!!! Thanks so much for pointing that out. I was about to rewrite scripts to JS as a workaround :slight_smile:

It works as intended, happy day!!

Thanks again Trooper and bem13!
