Playmaker: How to use transform.position in actions

I want to move and object to an Y position, but NOT on the X axis, just in the Y. Lets say, I want to move it to y = -2. If I use an iTween MoveTo and put the Vector3 as 0,-2,0, the object moves to x = 0 too. If I use Move Towards, I can set the target position, but I need to put in the X textbox something like transform.position.x to leave the X position as it is. How this is done?

I have to do 3 actions, like in programming, but using Playmaker actions:

0) Create a Vector3 variable

1) Get the position an store it in the Vector3

2) Add to that vector -2 with the action Add Vector3 XYZ

3) Do a Move To the Vector3 variable that we created

Hi DarkSlash!

When you say move to "0,-2,0", you set absolute values wich are relative to the scene "grid".

In your case, you must make it relative to the object!

So There it is in C#:

 transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x,transform.position.y - 2, transform.position.z);

Bests, Math

Of course that is the correct way, but I want to put that in the Playmaker action panel :)

And I want to move the object to y = -2, not to transform.position. y - 2; )

I'm sorry, I did not know about Playmaker visual scripting,

If you want Y to be absolute -2, I'm pretty sure you know how!

(ok ok... transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x,-2, transform.position.z); )

I can't help you more with Playmaker... But anyway, I tried to help!
