How do I rotate on World Axes with Quaternion.Slerp?
When I rotate my object using this script...
function RotateObject (thisTransform : Transform, degrees : Vector3, seconds : float) { if (rotatingNew) return; rotatingNew = true;
var startRotation = thisTransform.rotation;
var endRotation = thisTransform.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(degrees);
var t = 0.0;
var rate = 1.0/seconds;
while (t < 1.0) {
t += Time.deltaTime * rate;
thisTransform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(startRotation, endRotation, t);
yield;
}
rotatingNew = false;
}
...the object rotates on it's local axes instead of the world axes.
What is a fairly simple way to get this to rotate on World Axes?
Thanks in Advance =)

Try changing this:
var endRotation = thisTransform.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(degrees);
To this:
var endRotation = Quaternion.Euler(degrees) * thisTransform.rotation;
Thank You! This was much simpler than I thought it would be.
Could you explain what is the difference between these 2 orders?

After lots of testing, the pins remain in place, but following the combination of rotation is complete, the cube undergoes some rotation along the Y axis that is manipulating the "wheel" of rotation Z or Y. And I can not understand where the problem. Here is the code used ..
void Update () {
if(switchControl == true && curTarget != null){
if(curTarget.name == "RedR" || curTarget.name == "GreenR" || curTarget.name == "BlueR"){
Quaternion curPlanchTargetRot = Quaternion.Euler(angles);
curPlanche.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(curPlanche.transform.rotation, curPlanchTargetRot, 10f*Time.deltaTime);
}
}
void onMouseRotateDrag ()
{
float posInitX = initMousePosX;//position du curseur au moment du clic
float posInitY = initMousePosY;
float posCurX = Input.mousePosition.x;//position du curseur pendant le drag
float posCurY = Input.mousePosition.y;
differenceX = Mathf.Floor((posCurX-posInitX)/150);
differenceY = Mathf.Floor((posCurY-posInitY)/150);
curDifference = differenceX;
if(Mathf.Abs(curDifference)<Mathf.Abs(differenceY)){//floor() valeur inf et ceil() valeur sup
// curDifference = differenceY;
}
if(curDifference != curApplyDifference){
if(curTarget.name == "RedR"){ // axe X
angles.x = ((-curDifference*90) % 360);
curApplyDifference = curDifference;
}else if(curTarget.name == "GreenR"){ // axe Y
angles.y = ((-curDifference*90) % 360);
curApplyDifference = curDifference;
}else if(curTarget.name == "BlueR"){ // axe Z
angles.z = ((-curDifference*90) % 360);
curApplyDifference = curDifference;
}
posInitX = Input.mousePosition.x;
posInitY = Input.mousePosition.y;
}
}
I need some help ... It's been three days I'm looking without much success
if you need some help, you should add this as a question. and if you wanted to call attention from ppl in this " thread ", then you could post comments. but above all, try to make your question clear. I can't understand what you're asking.
