Placing an Object at a distance from and world anchor?
I am developing a HoloLens Application in Unity. I place an anchor vuforia (anchor1) and then i place objects in my scene using tap to place. I want to know first how to save that distance and second how to apply that distance to another game object (without using world anchors).
I am using this code to get the distance but the y axis is not working:
go.transform.position = new Vector3(parent.transform.position.x, parent.transform.position.y, parent.transform.position.z); -- to get the second object position;
UnityEngine.Vector3 rest = Position - zero; (zero is the anchor1 position)
Vector3 dir = rest.normalized;
float total_distance = dir.magnitude;
distance = zero + dir * total_distance; (final vecto3);
To load the new object i am using:
wa.transform.position + distance; (wa) is the new object;
Thanks for the help.
