Placing an object in front of the camera

Question

This should be an easy task, and I have googled it, but I can\'t figure out why any of the examples are working for me.

Basically, I want to place tiles on the ground in

Answer 1

You could use the forward vector of the object, something like this:

public GameObject frontObject;
public float distance;

void Update () {
    frontObject.transform.position = Camera.main.transform.position + Camera.main.transform.forward * distance;
}
