Inverse of Quaternion.eulerAngles?

Question

Hi Guys

Simple question that I'm struggling to find an answer to. The function of Quaternion.eulerAngles is to return an angle representation of a quaternion, is there an inverse to this function? To Return a quaternion from a transform.eulerangles representation?

I have a object which can only be rotated using the function transform.eulerAngles and I need to use the continuous euler angle readings to produce a quaternion to drive other objects.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm a little unclear on what you're asking, but it sounds like you want Quaternion.Euler. It takes in the x, y, and z rotations and returns the quaternion representation.

The trick to using Quat.Euler is to forget transform.eulerAngles (they can jump around on you.) Ins$$anonymous$$d, make your personal variables for the x,y,z angles. Change those however you like, and each frame set rotation=Quat.EA(x,y,z)`.

Thanks for the instant response guys. Basically I have a GUI which rotates based on touch using the transform.eulerAngles function. The Gui object is then intended to rotate another object but with a different speed but still based on rotation of GUI. I cannot continue to use transform.eulerAngles on the other object because it would exceed 360 deg.

Can rotation=quat.EA still be applied in this case Owen? If so can an angle reference be used in it?

I'm a bit of a rookie with this one still. Thanks
