The z position of an object

[Michiel]

Hello

I have a question about the position of an object.
I want to let my ground follow the player object on top of it.
But I only want it to follow and the z of the player object and right now I only know how to let it follow the x, y and the z.
Here's the code that I have right now:

public class StayUnderPlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform player;
    public Vector3 offsetG;

    void Update()
    {
        transform.position = player.position - offsetG;
    }
}

Could someone help me out?

You could do either:
- the brute force of just setting x and y based on the player, and then setting z to whatever your ground level is supposed to be; OR
- copy the player's transform, then use the Translate() method to force the z to whatever your ground level is supposed to be.

I am going to assume this is a GameDev question for a Unity 3D game?

If case in point, then you'd be best looking at the Transform. properties to get/set the z location from/of your player object.

Never had you down as a Game Dev Skydiver...

Don't assume the ground level in Unity, it can be acquired by your player object as It has been described twice how to do.
