How do I modify the current transform?

Question

I am trying to take the current transform of my object, and add 5 (or some number) to the Y axis. Right now I am doing this:

 transform.position.y += 1;

With that, my object just starts moving up in the air forever. How can I accomplish what I need?

THANKS!

You want to add a value once?

 function Update (){
     if(condition){
         NewPosition();
     }
 }
 
 function NewPosition(){
     transform.position.y += 5;
 }

NB: Just make sure to set 'condition' to false, or make it non-recursive(so it does not execute 'NewPosition' more than you want it to).

Just make sure you only execute the code once. You could also use booleans, but well that is preference.

Its easy here the script :

in c# : transform.position = (new Vector3(transform.position.x,transform.position.y +1,transform.position.z));

I don't want to offend you, but that's exactly the same... Sure in C# the OP's code won't work, but since it works for him it's quite obvious that he uses UnityScript ;)
