Transform API

Read or queue a world-space translation for the behavior owner.

When to call it

Read before applying relative movement. Write from Update for presentation movement or FixedUpdate for simulation movement. Do not rewrite an unchanged position every frame.

Calls

rustic.get_translation()
rustic.set_translation(x, y, z)

Variables

Variable	Type	Required	Description
`x`	finite number	Yes	World-space X.
`y`	finite number	Yes	World-space Y.
`z`	finite number	Yes	World-space Z.

Return and timing

Get returns three numbers. Set queues a mutation applied after the callback; it returns no entity value.

Constraints and behavior

NaN and infinity are rejected.
Every gameplay language calls the engine-owned API. Rustic supplies SDKs and dispatches callbacks; scripts do not parse requests or serialize responses. See the language guide for complete setup and callback registration.
