Declaration

public void TransformPoints(Span<Vector3> positions);

Parameters

Parameter	Description
positions	The positions of the points to be transformed, each is replaced by the transformed version.

Description

Transforms multiple points from local space to world space overwriting each original point with the transformed version.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject someObject;
    const int kNumPoints = 100;
    void Start()
    {
        // Instantiate 100 objects to the right of the current object
        Vector3[] points = new Vector3[kNumPoints];
        for (int pointNum = 0; pointNum < kNumPoints; pointNum++)
        {
            points[pointNum] = Vector3.right * pointNum;
        }
        transform.TransformPoints(points);
        for (int pointNum = 0; pointNum < kNumPoints; pointNum++)
        {
            Instantiate(someObject, points[pointNum], someObject.transform.rotation);
        }
    }
}

Declaration

public void TransformPoints(ReadOnlySpan<Vector3> positions, Span<Vector3> transformedPositions);

Parameters

Parameter	Description
positions	The positions of the points to be transformed, these vectors are not modified by the function unless the `transformedPositions` span overlaps.
transformedPositions	Receives the transformed positions of each point, must be the same length as `positions` otherwise an exception will be thrown. If this span overlaps `positions` other than representing the exact same elements the behaviour is undefined.

Description

Transforms multiple points from local space to world space writing the transformed points to a possibly different location.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject someObject;
    const int kNumPoints = 100;
    void Start()
    {
        // Instantiate 100 objects to the right of the current object
        Vector3[] points = new Vector3[kNumPoints];
        for (int pointNum = 0; pointNum < kNumPoints; pointNum++)
        {
            points[pointNum] = Vector3.right * pointNum;
        }
        Vector3[] transformedPoints = new Vector3[kNumPoints];
        transform.TransformPoints(points, transformedPoints);
        for (int pointNum = 0; pointNum < kNumPoints; pointNum++)
        {
            Instantiate(someObject, transformedPoints[pointNum], someObject.transform.rotation);
        }
    }
}
