Question by John_Sherer · Feb 06, 2014 at 04:57 PM · camera rotaterotate objecthorizontal movement

Rotation too complicated

I'm trying to make my camera rotate based on Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") and changing this into a Vector3, but it looks like transform.rotate requires a "quaternion." I tried setting the rotation to new quaternion(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f), but that just made everything go crazy! Can someone please explain how to better apply this code or redirect me to somewhere where I can learn more about it? Thank you.

I think what you need there is the Quaternion.Euler function

     float angle;
 
     void Update () {
 
         angle += Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
 
         transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0,0,angle);
     
     }

This lets you set the rotation of your object using a Vector3.

If you want to lock the rotation after certain amount you could implement something like this:

     float angle;
     float rotationLimit = -1.0f;
 
     void Update () {
 
         angle = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
 
         transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0,0,angle * Mathf.Rad2Deg) * rotationLimit);
     
     }

Quaternions don't work that way. Also transform.Rotate() accepts Vector3 or 3 floats as parameter. Transform.Rotate() You can basically set your rotation like:

 transform.Rotate(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"),0,0);

Yup, I used the transform.Rotate and it worked just fine! Thanks a lot.
