Difference between transform.localEulerAngles and transform.localRotation=Quanerion.Euler
I am working on a project which I have inherited, and I’m confused by the way in which two similar objects are being rotated but using different methods. There is a parent object with multiple daisy-chained children (a robot arm style link chain).
One has a script applied to each child joint and uses localEulerAngles:
transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(0.0f, setAngle, 0.0f);
The other has a script applied to the parent which references the children in the inspector, and uses localRotation = Quanterion.Euler:
public GameObject objectToRotate;
float setAngle;
private Vector3 axis= new Vector3(0, 0, 1);
objectToRotate.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(axis*setAngle);
What is the difference between these approaches when one uses Euler angles directly and one uses Quaterions?
Thankyou.
There is no difference. You can even look up in the source code that the localEulerAngles property just calls Quaternion.Euler and assigns the result to localRotation.
