[C#] Gradually rotate player object towards where mouse is pointing
I am making a third person camera. I make it so when W is pressed the player object Y rotates towards where the mouse is looking. When W is not being pressed the user can rotate the camera around the player. Its like The Last of Us camera. The problem is that when W is pressed the player object suddenly rotates fast rather then gradually rotating. Sorry for my english I am russian. Here is the code.
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
{
Quaternion lookRotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(target.transform.localRotation.x,
mouseXRotation,
target.transform.localRotation.z));
playerObject.transform.localRotation = lookRotation;
}
Is there a way to rotate smoothly rather than it just snapping to the rotation?
transform.localRotation and transform.rotation are quaternions (4 dimensions), not euler angles (3 dimensions). If you use target.transform.localRotation.x, then you will get a nonsensical result rather than 0-360 degrees.
You can use Quaternion.Lerp (or Quaternion.RotateTowards) every Update() if you want smooth transition. You can search for "quaternion rotate" for various explanations. Something like this answer.
I tried that and it didnt work. It isnt even rotating now.
if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ey($$anonymous$$eyCode.W))
{
Quaternion lookRotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(target.transform.localRotation.x,
mouseXRotation,
target.transform.localRotation.z));
Quaternion.RotateTowards(target.transform.localRotation, lookRotation, 3f);
}
You cannot use target.transform.localRotation.x -- this is not an euler rotation, it is not in degrees at all.
You can try transform.eulerAngles = Vector3.RotateTowards(target.transform.eulerAngles, lookRotation, 3f)
lookRotation would be something like new Vector3(target.transform.eulerAngles.x, mouseXRotation, target.transform.eulerAngles.z)
