Question by murkertrer · Sep 16, 2016 at 09:55 PM · quaternionrotateparentchildeulerangles

Rotating a child and a parent, simultaneously

I´m going crazy...

I have two rotation, which workd well independently, but together they have a really wierd behaviour.

The child is:

 at.rotator.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(curAngleZ, at.rotator.forward * -1) * start;

The parent is:

 temporaryObjectForRotationOnYAxis.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(temporaryObjectForRotationOnYAxis.transform.localEulerAngles.y + mouseDragX3, temporaryObjectForRotationOnYAxis.transform.up);

And it does not work. it, goes all crazy, with rapid and umpredictable behaviour. I even tried changing it to euler angles.. Still the same behaviour...

Any Ideas on how should I tackle this problem?

Thank you.

Local rotation is in local space. So using at.rotator.forward makes no sense as this gives you the forward axis in worldspace. You might want to use

 at.rotator.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(curAngleZ, -Vector3.forward) * start;

However it depends on your actual setup. Also

it does not ork

Is not a useful description of what happens or what would you expect.

You are right, does not work, it is not a proper description. But I find it difficult to say that it, goes all crazy, with rapid and umpredictable behaviour.

I am using at.rotator.forward because that is the direction of the axis in which I want to rotate. thank you for taking the time ;)

Why would you want to use a worldpace axis in a local rotation? That means the rotation axis as seem from local space will change when the parent rotates. Vector3.forward is the local forward axis. $$anonymous$$aybe you want to exchange your two rotations so start comes first.

 at.rotator.transform.localRotation = start * Quaternion.AngleAxis(curAngleZ, -Vector3.forward);
