Question by MattMcg.GameDev · Jan 08, 2014 at 09:52 PM · animation animationcurve tween

Tweened rotation animation in a single axis, spins around others if the angle flips from going lower than 0.

I'm trying to rotate a child object of a Voxel hand, to wind up a sword attack.

I will use a series of images to demonstrate my issue

The starting position

The desired final location, which has only rotated in X and moved backwards in Z

The resulting animation

If I use the graph to say those axis cannot move, the resulting animation can go no higher than the sword pointing vertically upwards.

The best I can get is for the sword to go the wrong way round the axis, which isn't what I'm after. (Imaging raising a sword to above your shoulder, now imagine doing it with your elbow going the other way...)

Now, I'm new to tweening, so I assume this is do with the fact that in order for an angle to go from 0 to then 359, it has reverse some of the other axis?
