Transfrom position from JS to C#

Questions & Answers
1

Hi,

I have this code in JS that I have to use in C#.

JavaScript Snippet:

private var myTransform : Transform;

    function Start() 
    {
     myTransform = transform;
    
        // Main loop
     while (true) 
     { 
     myTransform.position.z = Mathf.Lerp (myTransform.position.z, gridSize, fastLane);
     yield;
     }
    }

But when I try to put the myTransform.position.z line in C#, I’m getting an error that says consider storing the value in a temporary variable. I found online how to store the values but I’m getting error can’t convert Vector3 to float. Is there something I’m missing? Hope someone can help.

Thanks very much.

As far as I can tell, C# does not allow you to access individual values (x,y,z) of transforms. You have to assign it an entirely new vector3.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

//test class, you might want to change this name

public class test : MonoBehaviour

{

private Transform myTransform;

//I threw these 2 variables in to get rid of errors
private float gridSize = 0f;
private float fastLane = 0f;

void Start() 
{
 myTransform = transform;

    // Main loop
 while (true) 
 { 
     //this is basically saying, assign a new vector to position, and keep the current x and y values,
     // but do something different for z. 
     myTransform.position = new Vector3(myTransform.position.x, myTransform.position.y,
                            Mathf.Lerp (myTransform.position.z, gridSize, fastLane));

    yield;// <--No idea what this is O_o
 }
}

}
