Right Stick Aiming Problem (Dual Stick Shooter)
Hello, I'm currently building a dual stick shooter using a PS4 controller and after getting the right analogue stick to work properly ("3rd-axis" and "6th-axis" weirdly if anyone wants to know), I'm now having difficulties with the movement of my turret.
When the input on the y axis is positive, the aiming is fine, however when I flip the x rotation when the input is negative, it does it constantly. I'm guessing I should run some sort of check with the current axis to stop it from doing this, but I can't seem to figure it out. Here's the script anyway:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerAiming : MonoBehaviour
{
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
// We are going to read the input every frame
Vector3 vNewInput = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("RightStickX"), Input.GetAxis("RightStickY"), 0.0f);
// Only do work if meaningful
if(vNewInput.sqrMagnitude < 0.1f)
{
return;
}
// Set our rotation to represent the input
vNewInput.Normalize();
float fHeading = Vector3.Dot(Vector3.right, vNewInput);
Vector3 vNewRotation = transform.rotation.eulerAngles;
vNewRotation.z = fHeading * 90.0f;
// Adjust our rotation if we're on the bottom half of the input circle
if(vNewInput.y > 0.0f)
{
Debug.Log(new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("RightStickX"), Input.GetAxis("RightStickY"))); //report value of right thumbstick
vNewRotation.x = 180.0f - vNewRotation.x;
}
// Apply the transform to the object
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(vNewRotation);
}
}
Any Help would be appreciated thanks.

Managed to figure it out using some of the code from this and this
Here is the modified code if anyone is interested:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerAiming : MonoBehaviour
{
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
// We are going to read the input every frame
Vector3 vNewInput = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("RightStickX"), Input.GetAxis("RightStickY"), 0.0f);
// Only do work if meaningful
if(vNewInput.sqrMagnitude < 0.1f)
{
return;
}
// Apply the transform to the object
var angle = Mathf.Atan2(Input.GetAxis("RightStickX"), Input.GetAxis("RightStickY")) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(angle, 0, 0);
}
}
