Issues rotating around transform.up
I am trying to set my object to match the rotaion of a joystick. The object needs to rotate around it's transform.up, since it will be at many weird angles. However this code doesn't work.
transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(transform.up * Mathf.Atan2(Input.GetAxisRaw("VerticalRight"),Input.GetAxisRaw("HorizontalRight")) * Mathf.Rad2Deg);
It works when the player is at any rotation like (0,y,0), however if we move to (45,y,32) all of a sudden the object rotates to weird angles. What am I doing wrong, or is there a better way to control this rotation?
Have you tried using Transform.RotateAround or Quaternion.AngleAxis?
Tried messing with AngleAxis thanks to robertbu, however it didn't work.
After testing it, it seems even after I've rotated the transform to say (0,0,90), it will reset to (0,y,0) as if it's rotating around Vector3.Up rather then transform around what would now be Vector3.Right
Try this:
transform.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(Mathf.Atan2(Input.GetAxisRaw("VerticalRight"),Input.GetAxisRaw("HorizontalRight")) * Mathf.Rad2Deg, transform.up);
unfortunately that didn't seem to work, I'll try and make a web build when I get home and link it here to show the issue.
Edit:

I think the problem comes from the localRotation because your transform.up return the up direction in world context.
