Quaternion/Vector 3 rotate/rotation

Read the comments in //below

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var spawnRot : Quaternion;
3.  
4. function Start () {
5. spawnRot = transform.rotation;
6. }
7.  
8. function Update () {
9. //if something then do following
10. //narrowed code down to simplify problem
11. transform.rotation = spawnRot;
12.  
13. //would like to slerp/gently rotate transform towards spawnRot - however transform.Rotate is vector3 and cannot
14. //didn't quite understand quaternion.operator* in docs
15. //an example would be great ;)

Cheers.

 

Quaternion.Lerp or Quarernion.RotateTowards do the job. Maybe next time you look at the docs before posting here?

 

Tried that before.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp (transform.rotation, spawnRot.rotation, Time.time);
3.  

Error:
Assets/Code/~.js(46,68): BCE0019: 'rotation' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.Quaternion'.

 

spawnRot is already of type Quaternion, you cannot acces .rotation because this is a member of the Transform class. Instead you can use the variable directly to pass it to Quaternion.Lerp. This is basic code understanding, you might want to improve your understanding of object-oriented programming and C# in general.

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp (transform.rotation, spawnRot, Time.deltaTime * Time.deltaTime);
3.  

There we go. Which I swore I tried earlier - perhaps mistyped it. Odd.

I understand what you mean, to a degree, but I prefer to work with trial and error and generate my own understanding of how everything works - which takes time, and this has added to that.
