Switch to Manual
public void AddTorque(Vector3 torque, ForceMode mode = ForceMode.Force);

Parameters

torque Torque vector in world coordinates.

Description

Adds a torque to the rigidbody.

Force can be applied only to an active rigidbody. If a GameObject is inactive, AddTorque has no effect.

Wakes up the Rigidbody by default. If the torque size is zero then the Rigidbody will not be woken up.

public void AddTorque(float x, float y, float z, ForceMode mode = ForceMode.Force);

Parameters

x Size of torque along the world x-axis.
y Size of torque along the world y-axis.
