Rotating object around Z axis with lerp/slerp
Im trying to rotate my player to face where I last clicked. I've acutally manged to do this, but now I want to see the player rotate at a set speed instead of the sprite just changing rotation instantly. Ive tried several methods I've found online, but none of them work for me. Here's what I have
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0))
{
Vector3 diff = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - transform.position;
diff.Normalize();
float rot_z = Mathf.Atan2(diff.y, diff.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
transform.rotation= Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, rot_z - 90);
Instantiate(ProjectilePrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
}
}
The code above works fine, but it shows no movement. I have tried to do this but the position is wrong and the rotation is instant as well:
Vector3 diff = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - transform.position;
var newRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(diff);
newRotation.y = 0.0f;
newRotation.x = 0.0f;
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, newRotation, Time.deltaTime * 30);
Any ideas?
So, finally found the answer. I still dont understand but I made it work
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
target = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint (Input.mousePosition);
rotateToTarget = true;
print ("NEW TARGET: " + target);
}
if (rotateToTarget == true && target != null) {
print ("Rotating towards target");
targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation (transform.position - target.normalized, Vector3.forward);
targetRotation.x = 0.0f;//Set to zero because we only care about z axis
targetRotation.y = 0.0f;
player.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp (transform.rotation, targetRotation, Time.deltaTime * rotationSpeed);
if (Mathf.Abs (player.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.z - targetRotation.eulerAngles.z) < 1) {
rotateToTarget = false;
travelToTarget = true;
player.transform.rotation = targetRotation;
print ("ROTATION IS DONE!");
}
}
