Question by driferia · May 01, 2013 at 12:36 AM · transformrotatelocalscale

transform.localScale unexpected behavior after Rotate()

I have a game object (which is has a scaled transform parent) that I am scaling and rotating in the following way:

         OriginalScale = this.transform.localScale;
         this.transform.localScale = OriginalScale;
         this.transform.Rotate (0, 0, 90);

The game object becomes very distorted after the rotation is executed. However, the following does not cause distortion:

         //OriginalScale = this.transform.localScale;
         //this.transform.localScale = OriginalScale;
         this.transform.Rotate (0, 0, 90);

Can someone explain why?

If you put that code inside Update than it will scaled every frame continuously and looks like distorted, because Update is called every frame, if the MonoBehaviour is enabled.

Sample Used inside Update with drag snippet

 private Vector3 originalScale;
     private float distance;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         distance = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, Camera.main.transform.position);
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
         {
             originalScale = this.transform.localScale;
             this.transform.localScale = originalScale;
             this.transform.Rotate(0, 0, 90);
         }
         // Drag Script
         if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
             this.transform.position = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, distance));
         
     }

The code is not inside update and does not get called every frame.

okay since i didn't know your whole script, i am just guessing if you have parent in the transform, you should use

 transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 90);
