C# - Rotation around object axis
Hello, i need a script to detect objects rotation in respect to its own axis, not the worlds axis.
In more detail - i'm creating flight control system for my spaceship. I need my script to detect it's rotational motion, and as soon as that happens, make it fire thrusters to counter that rotational motion.
My script:
if (Spaceship.rigidbody.angularVelocity.z > 0){ rigidbody.AddForce (-transform.up * 500); }
My problem:
If Spaceship faces another diection of z axis, the script gives a "reversed" result. Instead of stopping the rotation, the thruster accelerates it.
generally you add Torque, not Force, to make something spin.
check out the doco...
AddRelativeTorque Adds a torque to the rigidbody relative to the rigidbodie's own coordinate system.
AddTorque Adds a torque to the rigidbody.

In this example, i need force - not to make my spaceship spin on its own, but be spinned by the thruster ins$$anonymous$$d. AddForce part is ok.
The problem lies in that i need the script to detect the spin direction in respect to spaceship axis (left to right wing) and not the world axis.
Could you please incorporate that in my code example? I have no idea where that should go. And the answer to your question is probably - yes.
I need the script to detect the spin of a Spaceship object in respect to its own axis (left to right wing), and not the world axis.
