How to always rotate clockwise
Hello, I have an object that I need to rotate clockwise only around Z axis until it matches a specific angle that will be decided randomly at run time. If I use any of Quaternion static functions they all choose the shortest rotation and sometimes it rotates anti-clockwise. Any ideas?
Edit: I forgot to mention that the rotation shouldn't be instantaneous, it will be Lerp like, the problem with Quaternion static functions is that they always rotate in the shortest direction and I need to always rotate in clockwise direction.
Hello, can you post the code you are using now?
Have you tried
Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, myRotationInDegrees);
edit: for lerping a quaternion not trough the shortest route, i recommend something custom made
public class QuaternionLerp : MonoBehaviour {
public float zAngleTarget;
public float secondsToLerp;
float t;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
t = 0;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
t += Time.deltaTime / secondsToLerp;
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, Mathf.Lerp(0,zAngleTarget, t));
}
}
Thanks for responding, the problem with Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, myRotationInDegrees); is that it will make instantaneous rotation. what I need is something like Quaternion.Lerp but I get to choose the direction of rotation
