Question by Chris 33 · Apr 01, 2011 at 08:10 AM · rotateparentchild

Rotating around a parent

hello,

i have object CHILD parented to object PARENT. I'm using a script that will transform CHILDS position in and out of the cameras view (just a transform.position to coordinates on and off camera relative to PARENTs transform). But when the PARENT rotates, CHILD does not rotate around its parent. It rotates about its own Y axis (CHILD).

Can not figure this one out. Any help? i have a hunch it might have something to do with euler angles, but really not sure.

Thanks!

You should post your script, cause normally if something doesn't work what you THIN$$anonymous$$ you do is not what you are really doing...

Make sure your child isn't doing something like

transform.position = somePosition;

but rather something like

transform.localPosition = somePosition;
