Might be a simple Question.. Question about locking and unlocking Vector3 coordinates

Unity Engine
1

transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x,45.6f,transform.position.z);

if i write this code, then want to unlock the y coordinate in an If statement, how do i go about doing it ?

You mean like:

if(someBoolean)
    transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, 45.6f, transform.position.z);

?

I think I may be misunderstanding your question. If you only want the y value to be locked to a specific number in the case that a boolean value is on or off or w/e, then the above code should work fine. If you mean something else, then I’m not following.

i understand what you are saying but i have this problem. When i am in water, and go to the surface which is y = 45.6f, i want to lock that position since if i move a certain way, i walk into the air.
So i want to lock that position until i press a button.
if(Input.GetKey(“q”))
{
// I AM ABLE TO MOVE THE Y AGAIN HERE
}

You mean like this?

private bool locked = false;

public void SomeFunction()
{
    if(Input.GetKey("q"))
        locked = false;

    if(!locked && transform.position.y > 45.6f)
        locked = true;

    if(locked)
        transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, 45.6f, transform.position.z);
}

You should probably also use a second boolean value like “in water” to determine if you’re maneuvering yourself out of the water onto land, or else re-diving, when the “lock” breaks. Something like that…

Im having a stupid problem which I cant solve. When i use that correct code, and i hit the 45.6 > y , instead of locking the y, it teleports me into the air and when i land at 45.6, i teleport again into the air, idk why
