How to rotate an object depending on the rotation of an other Object
Hey guys, actually i´m facing the following problem. i have two components which i want to assembly. i have succsesfully implemented a virtually realty application which needs some improvements. so for example i have two technical components, which only could be assembled in one specific way. in my scenerio i have one main component and some assembly parts. so when im loading an assembly part into my Scene i want it to be in the right angle or assembly direction to my main component. in addition it should rotate as i rotate the main component. so the assemby part should always follow the right assembly position, but it should still stay at his own position. i´ve tried to implement this by using unity´s lookat or rotate function. but i didn´t get good results. maybe one of you has a good idea?
Can't you just apply the same rotation to both objects? If you rotate the main component just apply the same exact rotation to the assembly part...
Thanks for your answer! I tried: ObjectB.transform.rotation = ObjectA.transform.rotation; The rotation works fine so far, but ObjectB rotates around ObjectA. I want ObjectB to rotate around its own axes. So while i´m rotating ObjectA, ObjectB should rotate as well but not by moving around A. B should not loose its position.
I believe you're looking for transform.localRotation, not transform.rotation. Just a guess, I don't know what your scene looks like.
Thanks again! I tried to use the rotation comment just with two cubes and it worked. So the actual problem I´m facing is that I converted cad files into .fbx, now I noticed that the pivot points of my converted objects are not centered in the middle of them. When I try to rotate my objects, they rotate around their pivot points. Is it possible to move the pivot point? Or to rotate around the center ins$$anonymous$$d of the pivot point? I appreciate your help!
I used to have a similar problem a while ago. I couldn't find a way to change the model pivot but i managed to solve it by parenting the 3d model to an empty gameobject positioned in the middle of the model, and then rotating the empty object ins$$anonymous$$d of the model itself. Hard to explain, hope you understand
By the details you explained in the comment, for the axis rotation you can implement ObjectB.transform.rotation = ObjectA.transform.rotation. If you want to rotate object A on a circular path around object B, the following video is the exact answer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PHc6vEckvc
