UIGrid items' position errors

[netlander]

Hi,

I have a UIGrid filled with sprites arranged in a rectangle and I am trying to position other game objects on top of some of those sprites at runtime.

The issue is when I try to get the positions of the sprites inside the grid it seems that the transforms of those sprites are returning the wrong positions, I have a simple script attached to the grid's sprites and when I access the transform's position of those sprites from within this script I get a small number like (0.5, 0.7, 0) but the position I need to get is the one that's shown in the Inspector, i.e. something in the form of (200, 200, 0).

Any ideas why is this happening? (needless to say I'm a noob with NGUI). 

Cheers
Paul

Check transform.localPosition instead of transform.position. There is a world of difference between World position and Local position. You need to be aware of how transforms work.

Yes I came over to update this thread with the answer. Indeed it's the transform.localPosition.

Thanks
