How does Transform:SetPosition work?

How does Transform:SetPosition work? (I mean what are the 3 numbers represent)

I tried Transform:SetPosition(0, 2, 0) but the prefab moves closer to Player
I tried Transform:SetPosition(0, -2, 0) but the prefab spawns on top of Player (kind of)
I tried Transform:SetPosition(0, 0, 2) but the prefab is slightly off ... somewhere

Thanks.

 

Edit: I'm making a mod where a prefab should be on top of the Player at all time. However this prevents Player from planting (such as pinecone). Player would say "I can't do that". I changed it to SetPosition(0,0,3) and it works but it's "off" and not on top of the Player. See image.

How do I fix this? Make it "invisible" or hover so not taking up ground space, allowing Player to plant pinecone, etc.

Thanks.

Parent the entity to the player entity for it to follow, and add the "NOBLOCK" tag to make it not obstruct building.

When you set position to a child entity it's relative to the parent's position and rotation.  I believe the X coordinate controls the child's position relative to the forward direction of the parent.  So an offset of (X, 0, 0) would make it appear in front of the player X units.  Z I believe is for left-right relative to the player's facing direction.  Y is height.

Adding NOBLOCk tag works!! Thanks!!
