Question by am_GA · Jan 23, 2020 at 06:53 PM · transform worldspace transformpoint

Does it matter what object's transform the TransformPoint() method is attached to?

Does it matter what object's transform the TransformPoint() method is attached to, since it's supposed to return a world space position? For example given the following structure:

Obj1
- ChildObj1
Obj2

Doing Obj1.transform.TransformPoint(Obj2.transform.position) should return the same thing as ChildObj1.transform.TransformPoint(Obj2.transform.position) regardless of Obj1 and ChildObj1's positions.

Is this correct? If so, what am I missing? Why does the TransformPoint have to be attached to an object's transform?
