| localPosition | Out parameter that will receive the position of the transform in local space. |
| localRotation | Out parameter that will receive the rotation of the transform in local space. |
Updates the value of the out parameters localPosition and localRotation with the transform's current position and rotation in local space (that is, relative to its parent's transform).
Note: When getting both the localPosition and localRotation of a Transform, calling this method is slightly more efficient than querying Transform.localPosition and Transform.localRotation individually.
If the transform has no parent, then calling this is equivalent to calling Transform.GetPositionAndRotation.
The typical usage for this method is to retrieve a transform's position and rotation in local space, to either display them or evaluate them. For example: transform.GetLocalPositionAndRotation(out Vector3 localPosition, out Quaternion localRotation)
The following example logs the position and rotation of a GameObject's Transform in local space.
using UnityEngine;
// Attach this script to a GameObject as a component. public class GetLocalPositionAndRotationExample : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { // transform refers to the Transform of the GameObject this script is attached to. transform.GetLocalPositionAndRotation(out Vector3 localPosition, out Quaternion localRotation);
// We will convert the rotation Quaternion to Euler angles for readability. Debug.Log($"{name} is located at {localPosition}, and has the rotation {localRotation.eulerAngles} relative to its parent."); } }
