Rotation and Translation children parent and tween
Hi !
I have a group of GameObject which belong to an empty GameObject. This emtpy GameObject rotate with this simple function :
transform.RotateAround (_bounds.center, Vector3.up, 20 * Time.deltaTime);
The _bounds variable is private and calculate dynamically depending on the geometrical movement of the children. Thus the rotation is always centered.
The problem comes when I add tween to my children. Indeed each children move independently from left to right, up and down, back and forth.
HOTween.To(transform.GetChild(i), 10, new TweenParms()
.Prop("position", new Vector3(transform.GetChild(i).position.x + Random.Range(-5.0F, 5.0F), transform.GetChild(i).position.y + Random.Range(-5.0F, 5.0F), transform.GetChild(i).position.z + Random.Range(-5.0F, 5.0F)), false) // Position tween (set as relative)
.Loops(-1, LoopType.Yoyo) // Infinite yoyo loops
.Ease(EaseType.EaseInOutQuad) // Ease
.OnUpdate( OnTweenUpdate )
.OnStepComplete(moveComplete, transform.GetChild(i).name) // OnComplete callback
);
The tween are instantiate at start. Bellow you will find full code. The issue arise when both instruction run simultaneously. The tween update the position and the update update the rotation of parent which update the position of of children.
What I'd like is rotate AND move for each of my single children.
Any help would be much appreciate.
