Why does transform.Rotate( x, y, z ) work correctly but transform.Rotate( Vector3.forward ) does not?
I have the following code:
var moveSpeed:float = 10.0; var rotateSpeed:float = 100.0;
function Update () { var translate:float = Input.GetAxis( "Vertical" ) moveSpeed; var rotate:float = Input.GetAxis( "Horizontal" ) rotateSpeed; Debug.Log( transform.forward ); //Debug.Log( rotate ); translate = Time.deltaTime; rotate = Time.deltaTime;
transform.Translate( 0, 0, translate );
transform.Rotate( 0, rotate, 0 );
}
Which functions as expected (WS control forward movement, AD control rotation). However, if I try the following:
var moveSpeed:float = 10.0; var rotateSpeed:float = 100.0;
function Update () { var translate:float = Input.GetAxis( "Vertical" ) moveSpeed; var rotate:float = Input.GetAxis( "Horizontal" ) rotateSpeed; Debug.Log( transform.forward ); //Debug.Log( rotate ); translate = Time.deltaTime; rotate = Time.deltaTime;
transform.Translate( transform.forward * translate ); // changed here!
transform.Rotate( 0, rotate, 0 );
}
It creates a disparity between the camera direction and the movement direction. Specifically, rotating the camera full circle seems to reverse the forward direction (so perhaps the scale is halved?).
First, your code doesn't reflect your question; the question asks about Rotate but your problem is with Translate; you should edit the question.
The problem lies in the Vector you're using. Your original code is equivalent to
transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * translate);
not
transform.Translate(transform.forward * translate);

There are a whole bunch of overloaded methods for Transform.Translate. Pick one that offers the space you want to work in, and looks most readable given your code.
