Setting the transform.position not working

Questions & Answers

I’m a bit confused as to what’s happening here. The position of my transform is not changing despite me setting it to a zero vector. Here’s the code. Any ideas why this change isn’t taking?

Vector3 v = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
GameObject o = Instantiate (_playerItem.PlayerWeapon.WeaponPrefab, v, transform.rotation) as GameObject;
o.transform.parent = weaponContainer.transform;
o.transform.position = v;

The gameobject is a prefab object. It loads correctly, however it looks like the position of the vector is takes is an offset to the parent transform to achieve a zero vector. That is, summing o.transform.position and o.transform.parent.position gives a zero vector. Why? And, how can I make it’s position be a zero vector?

gah, I had tried using o.transform.localPosition in my testing, but I guess I didn’t compile it when I tested it, so I thought it didn’t work. Nvm…

using:

o.tranform.localPosition = v

solves it.
