Do not understand how to position UI rectTransform

I do not understand what i am doing wrong here. I am trying the following:

1) Positioned 4 x Images (Cards) on UI scene

public Image aceHeartZone, aceClubZone, aceDiamondZone, aceSpadeZone;

2) The ace-cards are in the same hierarchy, in the Editor, as the normal cards:

enter image description here

3) I copy the positions from the AceXX cards to Vector2 properties

zone10 = aceHeartPos.rectTransform.localPosition;
zone20 = aceClubPos.rectTransform.localPosition;
zone30 = aceDiamondPos.rectTransform.localPosition;
zone40 = aceSpadePos.rectTransform.localPosition;

4) On the cards i have the following snippet:

_x = _prep.zone10.x;
_y = _prep.zone10.y;
myRectTransform.anchoredPosition = new Vector2(_x, _y);

5) And the card is not positioned correctly:

enter image description here

Behind the actual cards-images is the ace card-images, which is from where i pick the positions

QUESTION: What do I do wrong here?

Solution

  • First, thank you all. I feel pretty stupid I must say as i should have figured this out immediately. Problem is that I did mix localPosition and anchoredPosition!!!

    I now changed everything except the drag code to anchoredPosition and it works.

    Well, at least i learned something that I should have seen immediately...
