Simple smooth rotation problem
Hi everyone,
I am having a simple issue here I can't seem to get around whatever I try. Here's the code:
if (Input.GetKeyDown("w"))
{
aileronR.transform.Rotate(35, 0, 0);
What this does, when I keep the "w" pressed the gameObject rotates to 35 degrees on its X axis. What I actually look for is to get to the full 35 degrees angle in time; so if I press the "w" key the gameObject should rotate smoothly; I don't mind if on keyUp it snaps back to 0 0 0. I tried looking at Time.DeltaTime but nothing worked. However,when I tried this part of the script separately I achieved the exact end result; Here's the script that works.
var aileronRrotation = 15;
var aileronR : GameObject;
function Update () {
if (Input.GetKey ("a")) {
aileronR.transform.Rotate (aileronRrotation * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0);
}
if (Input.GetKeyUp ("a")) {
aileronR.transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
}
}
It could have something to do with the KeyUp/Key down part. I'll try this later today.
Thanks in advance!
This is not really an answer since the problem is not entirely solved. But this is the code that works when my plane is not flying; I attached a simple rotate animation to the plane just to see if the controls will rotate locally and they work fine; However, when I put the code in my plane script (or use it as a separate controls script) the rotation is local to .. something else; meaning, they keep the pivot but they rotate - i think - relative to camera.
this is the code.
var smooth = 2.0;
var tiltAngle = 30.0;
var aileronR : GameObject;
var aileronL : GameObject;
var elevator : GameObject;
var rudder : GameObject;
function Update () {
var tiltAroundX = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * tiltAngle; var aileronRtarget = Quaternion.Euler (tiltAroundX, 0, 0); var aileronLtarget = Quaternion.Euler (tiltAroundX, 0, 0); var elevatorTarget = Quaternion.Euler (tiltAroundX, 0, 0);
aileronR.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.localRotation, aileronRtarget, Time.deltaTime * smooth);;
aileronL.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.localRotation, aileronLtarget, Time.deltaTime * smooth);;
elevator.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.localRotation, elevatorTarget, Time.deltaTime * smooth);;
var tiltAroundY = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * tiltAngle; var rudderTarget = Quaternion.Euler ( 0, tiltAroundY, 0);
rudder.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.localRotation, rudderTarget, Time.deltaTime * smooth);; }
Another issue I have with this code is that I cannot use 2 axis; example - when I turn lean right, left aileron should be rotating up and the right aileron should be rotating downwards. I am just not sure where the problem is. Any help is appreciated.
Hi, please try the following code (C#, but isnt hard to convert)
public class Test : MonoBehaviour
{ public GameObject aileronR; public float aileronRoration = 15; public float speed = 5;
private float currentRotation = 0; private bool rotationActive = false;
void Update() { if (Input.GetKeyDown("w")) { rotationActive = true; currentRotation = aileronR.transform.eulerAngles.x; } if (rotationActive) { currentRotation = Mathf.Lerp(currentRotation, aileronRoration, (Time.deltaTime * speed)); aileronR.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(currentRotation, aileronR.transform.eulerAngles.y, aileronR.transform.eulerAngles.z); if (Mathf.Floor(currentRotation) == aileronRoration) { rotationActive = false; } } }
}
I made a new c# script named Test.cs and copied your code. public class Test : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour gives me an error. You got me there, while I can understand some javaScript, C# is totally new to me. I am trying to learn though, that's why I am asking around :) Thanks.
Please add the following above the public class:
using UnityEngine;
Use a Vector3.Lerp(CurrentRotation,WantedRotation,(Speed * Time.deltaTime)
I am not sure how to add the speed variable; my code looks like this:
aileronR.transform.Rotate(Vector3.Lerp (0, -35, Speed * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0));
If you're running out of patience with me, well, that's because I am an artist, not a programmer :)
Thanks in advance.
Works awesome, the feeling is a lot better. Before that it kind of snapped in place :)
I'll write the entire controls script in c# for now and see how it works. Do I need currentRotation and rotationActive variables for each aileron and the other controls? Thanks again !
Yeah you do. The currentRotation is to remember the "state" of the rotation. And the rotationActive is needed to see if it should rotate.
