Question by DejectedAxe47 · Oct 18, 2013 at 08:54 PM · javascripttransforminspectorinvisible

Public Transform Is Not Showing Up?

I am trying to get a transform to be created and this is my code but the transform isn't showing up in the inspector but the textures are.

 #pragma strict
 
 var grass : Texture;
 var stone : Texture;
 var block : Transform;
 
 function Start () 
 {
     if (transform.position.y == 1)
     {
         Instantiate (block, Vector3(0,-1,0), Vector3(0,0,0));
     }
 }

Original Answer:

You need to instantiate a GameObject, not a transform. Transforms cannot exist without a GameObject

Updated Answer:

a transform's rotation is stored as a quaternion, not a Vector3.

You can set a transform's rotation from a vector3 like this:

 myRotation : Vector3 = Vector3.up;
 transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(myRotation);

Thanks for your answer but it was actually the rotation couldn't be set as a Vector3

you didn't say anything about rotation. you said the transform would not show up.

Also, if you wish for further clarification on answers or need more help, post comments, not new answers to the question

I know i said it was the transform but that is because the transform wasn't showing and the reason that the transform wasn't showing was because of the error
