Sliders (Tilt and Yaw Rotation)
Sliders (Tilt and Yaw Rotation) Hi guys, Im new to unity and I have been trying to create slider controllers to rotate my object... So I created two sliders, one for tilt (Z) and yaw (Y), Both works great on their own, my problem is when I try to use them together. If I move the Yaw half way and then I move the Tilt, the object returns to its original position instead of storing the current position and adjusting from then on. Hope this makes sense... I know my main problem is that I have no clue how to store the rotation coordinates or how to use them to make my sliders work correctly. Here is what I have so far:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class ObjectControl : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject objectToRotate;
public Slider rotateSlider;
public Slider tiltSlider;
public Slider scaleSlider;
public void RotateMyObject(float sliderValueR)
{
sliderValueR = rotateSlider.value;
objectToRotate.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, sliderValueR * 360, 0);
}
public void TiltMyObject(float sliderValueT)
{
sliderValueT = tiltSlider.value;
objectToRotate.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, sliderValueT * 360);
}
public void ScaleMyObject(float sliderValueS)
{
Vector3 scale = objectToRotate.transform.localScale;
sliderValueS = scaleSlider.value;
objectToRotate.transform.localScale = new Vector3(sliderValueS, sliderValueS, sliderValueS);
}
}
Thank you all for the help!! Fabio
Hey! When you are rotating one axis, you are returning to zero another two, see : Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, sliderValueT * 360). You just need to use current axis rotations. See on the code ;)
Here is the code:
public void RotateMyObject(float sliderValueR) // i don't know why you are need this |float sliderValueR| here?
{
sliderValueR = rotateSlider.value;
Vector3 currentRotation = objectToRotate.transform.rotation.eulerAngles;
objectToRotate.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(currentRotation.x, sliderValueR * 360, currentRotation.z);
}
public void TiltMyObject(float sliderValueT) // i don't know why you are need this too
{
sliderValueT = tiltSlider.value;
Vector3 currentRotation = objectToRotate.transform.rotation.eulerAngles;
objectToRotate.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(currentRotation.x, currentRotation.y, sliderValueT * 360);
}
P.S i tested script, rotate it million times, no glithces no bugs. I am using Unity 2017. 
Wow! you are amazing! It is so easy to get stuck when you don't know all the available options when coding...
If you don't $$anonymous$$d me asking, as the beginner I am, what is the best source to get better at this? $$anonymous$$ost of my program$$anonymous$$g experience has been in ExtendScript to create user interfaces for After Effects of when I was learning about that, there were good video courses to follow along... Hope to find the same now that I am getting more into Unity.
Thank you once again!!!

For the beginning my advice is to follow 5-10 full courses (tutorial series). For example you can find a bunch of them here: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/
Or just type in youtube "how to make unity game", and watch all video of some playlist from episode 1 till the end, and parallel implement all this stuff in your project. Have a nice Unity trip !
Hi Bakir, let me ask you another question, after making the changes, the rotation and the tilt are working well together, but for some reason, when I tilt, I get very strange results, as I move the slider, at certain amount of degrees, the object starts to flicker. I recorded the problem for you to see: https://vimeo.com/274754621 I found that this is a very common problem and found this might be a solution: https://answers.unity.com/questions/395033/quaternionfromtorotation-misunderstanding.html Just not sure how this applies to my script in order to fix it... Thank you again for your time! Fabio
