position

[obsidian grove]

.

@fossil raft so basically if you want to move a different object you have to get its transform

Theres several ways to reference it, Im not sure which you need

[fossil raft]

like this:
transform.Translate(0, 0, (Position of the other object) - 5)

[obsidian grove]

No, Translate is used for moving the object by a given distance, not setting the position

if you set position, you just

transform.position = vector3 something something

[fossil raft]

yeah but i want the object to stop if the contacted object stops

how can i do that

[obsidian grove]

yeah you just need to set the position every update

so it would be like

[fossil raft]

ah ok

[obsidian grove]

transform.position = new Vector3(otherTransform.position.x, transform.position.y, transform.position.z)

[fossil raft]

so if the other object = player would it be like this?
transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y, player.position.z - 5f);

[obsidian grove]

you mean player being a variable storing the other object's transform then yes

if its the gameobject then player.GetComponent<Transform>().position. z

ok thx

do you have time to help me with something else?
