Changing position of Sprite in unity

I am trying to change the position of a sprite through a script. Here is the code for trying to change it. I tried it through the SpriteRenderer and the Sprite itself.

     void Update() { 
    checkMesh();

    spriteRenderer.enabled = true;
    spriteRenderer.transform.position.Set(10,10,1);
    sprite.rect.Set(10, 10, 100, 100);
    checkStart();

    checkForEnd();


}

Here is how I am grabbing the references to Sprite and the renderer

    spriteRenderer = this.GetComponentInChildren<SpriteRenderer>();
    sprite = spriteRenderer.sprite;

I can't seem to find why it won't work. Here is an image of the Hierarchy

enter image description here

I am trying to move the image named "bigpaddle" under "Expand Paddle"

Any help is extremely appreciated.

I don't know if you are trying to set the parent or move the object, but:

  • For SetParent you need the transform not the sprite, and the transform.SetParent(transform)
  • For moving it, take the transform and say transform.position = new Vector3(0,0,0)

Hope it helps!

i am unfamiliar with position.set(), (dunno if it exits) but it think it expects a vector3.

normaly setting a position is done like this

transform.position = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);

Reference this. I'm assuming you know about dragging+dropping scripts directly onto game objects and that it isn't the problem.

Edit: Recommend you change the tags to your question if you want more people weighing in; Unity doesn't use Java, it uses C#, a variant of Javascript, and an implementation of Python. unity3d is the most relevant tag for you.
