Rotate Vector3 towards another point, use local space to create an offset, and then convert offset to world space. Is this possible?
I know how to do this with objects, but is there a way to do this with just a defined Vector3?
Say I have a Vector3 between two points. I want the Vector3 to face diagonally towards the second point, add 4 on it's x axis and 4 on it's y axis, and convert that back to world space.
How would I go about making the local x and y coordinates move diagonally with the Vector3's rotation, instead of just moving left and right like they would typically do?
can you make a draw to clarify exactly what you want?
Absolutely! The code below does exactly what I want.
void FindNewPosition()
{
//Set rotation of object
diagonalRotation = pointB - pointA;
myObject.transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(diagonalRotation)
//$$anonymous$$ove object to the right (with the new rotation) in local space
myObject.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(4, 0, 0);
//Convert new position to world space
newPosition = myObject.transform.position;
}
Is there a way to do this without using an object though? I want to define a Vector3, get a diagonal offset using the Vector3's rotation with local space, and then convert that offset to world space.
Basically I need to know what is 1 unit right and 1 unit up of that Vector3 depending on which way it's facing.
YEa, its possible mathematicly, but its not "simple".. you nned to pply the scale factor, then de-rotate it as parent rotation...
If you have a solution using an object, us it. You can create an emptyobject to do it, and destroy the object at the end.
