Hi,
I trying to instantiate an object on a particular position but instantiates on a different position.
What's the problem here?

Code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Instantiator : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] GameObject cigarette; 
    [SerializeField] Canvas parentCanvas;

    GameObject instantiatedCigarette;
    Vector2 firstCigarettePos;
    float startPosxCig = -946.0901f;
    float startPosyCig = -534.46f;

    private void Start()
    {
        firstCigarettePos = new Vector2(startPosxCig, startPosyCig);
        firstCigarettePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(firstCigarettePos); 
    }

    public void InstantiateCigarette()
    {
        StartCoroutine(instantiateCoroutine());  
    }

    IEnumerator instantiateCoroutine()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
        instantiatedCigarette = Instantiate(cigarette, firstCigarettePos, Quaternion.identity , parentCanvas.transform) as GameObject;          
        instantiatedCigarette.transform.SetParent(parentCanvas.transform , false);      
        instantiatedCigarette.transform.position = firstCigarettePos;                   
        instantiatedCigarette.transform.localScale = cigarette.transform.localScale;    
    }

}

Okay, I used transform.localPosition instead of transform.position

i think the problem may be that you first instantiate the cigarette at firstCigarettePos, then you make it a child of a parent, and then, a line later, you define its position again at firstCigarettePos. i guess this is setting the cigarette's position in the parent's coordinates rather than the global coordinates, therefore it messes with where you want the cigarette to be. try scrapping that line and see if it gives you the result you want.
