Position, rotation and scale of an object.
Every object in a Scene has a Transform. It's used to store and manipulate the position, rotation and scale of the object. Every Transform can have a parent, which allows you to apply position, rotation and scale hierarchically. This is the hierarchy seen in the Hierarchy pane. They also support enumerators so you can loop through children using:
using UnityEngine;
public class Example : MonoBehaviour { // Moves all transform children 10 units upwards! void Start() { foreach (Transform child in transform) { child.position += Vector3.up * 10.0f; } } }
