Redefine axis of an object
How do you redefine the axis of an object?
Best Answer
You can only actually set that up inside the modeling program you are using.
There is a trick to work around it though. The object you want to change the axis on I'll call ObjectX:
- create an empty GameObject
- make the empty GameObject the child of ObjectX
- reset the Transform of the empty GameObject (it should now center ObjectX)
- unparent the empty GameObject
- rotate the empty GameObject so that it's axis are the way you'd like them to be on ObjectX
- make the empty GameObject the parent of ObjectX
rather hackish in-editor way... pity there is no way to change it at runtime using a script... well i guess you could create a gameobject, dynamically parent, move etc - would be nice if there were a transform.SetPivot() operation
Yeah, I absolutely agree. It should be easy as well, since the rigidbody already calculates a center of mass, just work from there ;).
The gamedraw package has a center pivot button. Works perfectly.
