Declaration

public AirfoilTransform()

AirfoilTransform(Transform)

Creates a new AirfoilTransform with the specified parent transform.

Declaration

public AirfoilTransform(Transform t)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Transform	t	Parent transform to use as reference.

Fields

transform

Parent Unity Transform used as reference for coordinate transformations.

Declaration

public Transform transform

Field Value

Type	Description
Transform

Properties

Forward

Gets or sets the forward direction vector in world space. Setting this value updates the rotation to look in the specified direction.

Declaration

public Vector3 Forward { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector3

Position

Gets or sets the world space position. Automatically converts between world and local coordinates using the parent transform.

Declaration

public Vector3 Position { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector3

Right

Gets or sets the right direction vector in world space. Setting this value updates the rotation to align the right axis with the specified direction.

Declaration

public Vector3 Right { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector3

Rotation

Gets or sets the world space rotation. Automatically converts between world and local rotation using the parent transform.

Declaration

public Quaternion Rotation { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Quaternion

Up

Gets or sets the up direction vector in world space. Setting this value updates the rotation to align the up axis with the specified direction.

Declaration

public Vector3 Up { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector3

localPosition

Gets or sets the local position relative to the parent transform. Setting this value automatically updates the transformation matrices.

Declaration

public Vector3 localPosition { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector3

localRotation

Gets or sets the local rotation relative to the parent transform. Setting this value automatically updates the transformation matrices.

Declaration

public Quaternion localRotation { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Quaternion
