Transform.RotateAround(Vector3 axis, float angle) - what happens with only two arguments?
There are two ways to call Transform.RotateAround -
Transform.RotateAround(Vector3 point, Vector3 axis, float angle)
Transform.RotateAround(Vector3 axis, float angle)
The first way is documented in the manual and makes total sense. The second one is a complete mystery that is currently blowing my mind. Anybody have experience with this?
The following of my assumptions have turned out to be false:
It does not just default to "Vector3 point = Vector3.zero"
It does not just default to "Vector3 point = transfrom.position"
It does not even call the 3-argument version of Transform.RotateAround. In fact, the 3-argument version of Transform.RotateAround calls the 2-argument version after doing a position calculation.
I'm running out of ideas, and this is blocking me at the moment... I'd love to hear from anyone with any knowledge on this!
Thanks =)
The answer to this is just a ridiculous example of method overloading inconsistency. Here's what I just discovered:
Transform.RotateAround(Vector3 point, Vector3 axis, float angle)
^ takes radians.
Transform.RotateAround(Vector3 axis, float angle)
^ rotates around transform.position... and takes degrees
Haha, that's silly. :) If you make your discovery into an answer, I'll upvote it.
Good idea, that should help others find this in the future

It appears that the function now takes radians, not degrees. However, the documentation still says it's in degrees...!
In Unity 5.2, 3 it has been fixed Transform.RotateAround angle parameter is really in degrees.
While, RotateAround overload without Point parameter is now deprecated.
