Question by pyromanci · Dec 29, 2012 at 10:43 PM · rotationquaternionaxisslerp

Lookat via Single Axis

OK,

I've been digging around and trying to have a single Bone in a models armature to rotate on a single axis to make the armature look at something.

The problem I'm having is that it rotates in a weird ways with each method I've tired.

Here is my current try. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fs9y8mfg6gxw08t/web.rar

This is the closest I've gotten to make it work, but still does not behave correctly.

Here is the code:

 void CalculateAimPosition(Vector3 targetPos) {
     Vector3 aimPoint = new Vector3(targetPos.x - transform.position.x + _aimError, 
                                    targetPos.y - transform.position.y + _aimError, 
                                    targetPos.z - transform.position.z + _aimError);
     Quaternion newRot = Quaternion.LookRotation(aimPoint);
     
     horizantalPivet.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(horizantalPivet.transform.rotation, newRot, Time.deltaTime * 2.0f);
 }

I've tired The following: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/36255/lookat-to-only-rotate-on-y-axis-how.html http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/304481/rotate-object-on-one-axis-with-slerp.html http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/36377-transform.LookAt-or-Quaternion.LookRotation-on-1-axis-only

I think the problem is the the fact the bone already has a rotation to it. The default rotation of it is X:0 Y:90 Z:0.

Have a look at the Quaternions tutorial on Unity Gems which shows a basic set of looking at on a single axis.

I looked at it and what i want to do should be Scene 2 (though in my case it's Z axis not Y, but shouldn't mater. I think the problem comes in base of the base objects rotation. When the model is imported in it's rotation and axis's don't match with unity's

Here is full project of it. Let me know what you think. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fjdpf9si42y07zt/TurretDemo.rar
