Problem with Vector3 position.

Questions & Answers
1

Hi, I’m having a problem getting the right position from an object. I am still new to Vector3 and am confused as to why the closed position is different from the position of my object. This script should slide the door open on-click to the specified coordinates of ‘open’. I believe that it should work except that the ‘closed’ variable receives completely different parameters than what the position says. Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you!

#pragma strict
// Check if door is open or closed
var isOpen : boolean;
// Variables for open and closed position values
var closed : Vector3;
var open : Vector3;

var endPoint : Vector3;
var duration : float = 1.0;

private var startPoint : Vector3;
private var startTime : float;

function Awake (){
	
}

function Start () {
	isOpen = false;
	closed = transform.position;
	startPoint = closed;
	endPoint = closed;
    startTime = Time.time;
}

function Update () {
	
	transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startPoint, endPoint, (Time.time - startTime) / duration);
}

function OnMouseOver (){
	if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
		if (isOpen == false){
			startPoint = closed;
			endPoint = open;
			isOpen = true;
		}
		else {
			startPoint = open;
			endPoint = closed;
			isOpen = false;
		}
	}
}

I figured it out. Accidentally had the object in an empty game object with a strange position that should have been 0,0,0.
