rotate the object based on the two-point

Hi friends, I want to return a specific object, but somehow I could not find by two points. I'd appreciate if you help, thank you :)

I struggled with this for ages and finally found a solution.

First move your object to the center point of the two points

 transform.position = (p1 + p2)/2.0;

then align your object between the two points

 transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(p1 - p2, Vector3.forward);

Thats it, too easy.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but is it possible to use Joint ?

You can put a joint between 2 objects and adjust the settings, but it's difficult to tell a joint "now I want you to go to X degrees". They're best when you want something to move like a real-world connection, but don't care exactly how.

Seems like what you want to do is find the mid point between the two contact positions then rotate about the mid point.

You should be able to do this through transform parenting, though it's not entirely trivial.
