Question by salamander555 · Jun 03, 2017 at 11:29 AM · rotationquaternionrotate

w in Quaternion?

Hello,

-first of all what does the w do in Quaternions and what does it do to my x,y,z values?

-second I have ths line of code with this I want to turn an object 90°. but the w value fcks it up so do you know what value I best give to my w. or another function I can better use to turn my objects.

 transform.rotation = new Quaternion(transform.rotation.x + rotationOfBlock.x, transform.rotation.y + rotationOfBlock.y, transform.rotation.z + rotationOfBlock.z, 1);

What values are stored in the "rotationOfBlock" variable? You are aware that a quaternion does not contain angles, but rather functions such as EulerAngles are used to perform conversions.

@Namey5 RotationOfBlock is a Vector3 with just an angle (in degree) to turn the block so I can easy change the amount of the block turns. and No i'm not aware of that. could you maybe write me a small line of code on how to change an angle by code?

only a crazy person or mathematical genius would attempt to change the w value. convert it to Euler Angles that will give you a Vector 3 instead //assuming were rotating on the y axis transform.rotation = transform.rotation.eulerAngles + Quaternion.Euler(0,90,0);
