InverseTransformPoint(float, float, float)
Transforms the position , , from world space to local space.
xyzpublic Vector3 InverseTransformPoint(float x, float y, float z)
Parameters
Returns
Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Vector3 |
Remarks
This function is essentially the opposite of TransformHandle.TransformPoint which is used to convert from local to world space.
Note that the returned position is affected by scale. Use TransformHandle.InverseTransformDirection if you are dealing with direction vectors rather than positions.
If you need to transform many points at once consider using TransformHandle.InverseTransformPoints instead as it is much faster than repeatedly calling this function.
// Calculate the world origin relative to this transform.using UnityEngine;using System.Collections;public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour{ void Start() { Vector3 relativePoint = transformHandle.InverseTransformPoint(0, 0, 0); if (relativePoint.z > 0) print("The world origin is in front of this object"); else print("The world origin is behind this object"); }}
