Building Escape Course (COMPLETE)

Just made it to “Getting an Actor’s Transform,” and here is how I wrote the challenge code:

Of course, I took the obvious hints, but even though it seems I took the long way here, I was thrilled to see this code work. That was my proudest coding moment yet. :slight_smile: I’m enjoying this part of the course and I really think some of the concepts are starting to sink in.

Cheers,

Code so far! :smiley: Feeling good!

Ah, the code doesn’t all copy and paste too well, I see :smiley: Had a blast with this course! Looking forward to Toon Tanks!!
