Rotating a Kinematic Object
I have a Kinematic object, being moved by transform.translate. I would like to have the object spin while it moves, without affecting the actual movement. AddTorque doesn't work for Kinematic and using transform.rotate() affects the path that the object takes. Any ideas? Thanks!
Note: I move the object with transform.Translate(Vector3.down * amtToMove); So I think I want to spin/rotate the object, without affecting where the axis points, if that makes sense.
you have to use world space like so:
transform.Rotate(Vector3.up, Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
transform.rotate docs:

hope this helps!
Almost... Here is how I move the object: transform.Translate(Vector3.down * amtTo$$anonymous$$ove);
If I use your code, with Vector right, it will eventually cause the down axis to point up... is there anyway to spin on the Right axis?
yeah just change it to transform.Rotate(Vector3.right, Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
simple :)
I did, the down axis moves due to the rotate, even if set Space.World. I'm thinking I need to make an empty GameObject and have it as its child, so I can move the Parent and spin the child.
hmm I'm not really sure what your saying... could you explain better?
I created an empty GameObject and made the original object (which I wanted to spin) a child. Now I just move the parent (the Empty) and spin the child.
