Assets/PlayerShipController.cs(109,33): error CS1061: Type UnityEngine.Transform' does not contain a definition for TheChildIWant’ and no extension method TheChildIWant' of type UnityEngine.Transform’ could be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?
It isn’t “transform.TheChildIWant.localPosition”. TheChildIWant is defined in your PlayerShipController class, not in Unity’s Transform class. Just use “TheChildIWant.localPosition”.
OK thanks though I got it to work but what I really want to do is make sure that X axis and Y axis are for steering and pitching upwards and downwards and the U axis ( or I think the 5th axis) is for the throttle and the 4th axis would be for the rudders I have been trying to get this to work like that but I think all the control instructions are coded in
