unity3d add float to forward

[Bokaii]

Vector3 pos;

void Update(){
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)){
        pos = transform.parent.position;
        pos.z += 2;
    }
}

Why does this not work???

When you access the transform’s position, that is “passed by value”. You get a copy of the original value, and changes made to the copy won’t directly alter the original.

You can modify the value and assign a new position:

pos = transform.parent.position;
pos.z += 2;
transform.parent.position = pos;
