how to make an objects rotation independent from its parents.
i want an object to move with its parent but not rotate. how would i do this?
idea 1: don't parent the object, keep the both separately move that object through code like sub.position= main.position+ distance between them idea 2: parent that object and write the code for both, for parent u writing +rotation means u should write the code for child also as -rotation (same value)
I solved this a while ago by using LateUpdate() ... not sure if it is exactly a legitimate solution but it seems to work fine:
function LateUpdate () {
if (transform.rotation != Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0)) {
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0);
}
}
Attach this to your child object. Again, there may be a way better way to do this, so don't hold this to me.
Hope that helps,

That won't work because i want the child object to still be able to rotate, not be locked at 0,0,0. Thank you for trying though.

Could you "pseudo parent" it? Have the child object call the parent object's movement commands, however you're doing that, be it AddForce or changing the velocity or what have you. Then the child object would mimic the movement of the parent without mimicking rotating. Unless you need it parented for other reasons.
