I've asked this question before a few hours ago and on anohter discord server and I can't seem to get an answer I can understand. I don't want to sound pushing but I've been trying to solve this but to no avail. I want to design a script for ene,my behaviour in a 2D space. The enemy will walk on a platform at a constant speed, turning around upon hitting a wall or reaching a ledge. To do this, I want the enemy (black) to have a secondary child object (grey). The grey object will stay infront of the enemy, meaning that when the enemy changing direction, the grey object will need to change position. How will I do this, as I am unsure how to position the game object, and make it flip around the parent object. If anyone is available, I would greatly appericiaite, especially if you were available to voice call so I could ask any questions about the answer you provide (I am a beginner so I get confused easily).

The grey object can be a child of the enemy. A child will always follow the parent's transform (position, rotation, scale)

#

You can flip the enemy by setting the X scale to -1

How do I edit a transform in code

Maybe you should look at some beginner unity tutorials

None of these seem geared towards what I'm trying to do. Do you mind explaining how to edit an object's transform?

#

Or providing some code to use as a basis?

#

The only thing I want to do to the transform is edit the scale

Modifying the transform is a very very basic thing
