Unity Script Reference – Transform.rotation

Transform.rotation

var rotation : Quaternion

Description

The rotation of the transform in world space stored as a Quaternion.

Unity stores rotations as Quaternions internally. To rotate an object, use Transform.Rotate. Use Transform.eulerAngles for setting the rotation as euler angles.

JavaScript

// Reset the world rotation
transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class example : MonoBehaviour {
    void Example() {
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
    }
}

import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

class example(MonoBehaviour):

    def Example():
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity

Another Example

JavaScript

// Smoothly tilts a transform towards a target rotation.
var smooth = 2.0;
var tiltAngle = 30.0;
function Update () {
    var tiltAroundZ = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * tiltAngle;
    var tiltAroundX = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * tiltAngle;
    var target = Quaternion.Euler (tiltAroundX, 0, tiltAroundZ);
    // Dampen towards the target rotation
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, target,
                                   Time.deltaTime * smooth);;
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class example : MonoBehaviour {
    public float smooth = 2.0F;
    public float tiltAngle = 30.0F;
    void Update() {
        float tiltAroundZ = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * tiltAngle;
        float tiltAroundX = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * tiltAngle;
        Quaternion target = Quaternion.Euler(tiltAroundX, 0, tiltAroundZ);
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, target, Time.deltaTime * smooth);
    }
}

import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

class example(MonoBehaviour):

    public smooth as single = 2.0F

    public tiltAngle as single = 30.0F

    def Update():
        tiltAroundZ as single = (Input.GetAxis('Horizontal') * tiltAngle)
        tiltAroundX as single = (Input.GetAxis('Vertical') * tiltAngle)
        target as Quaternion = Quaternion.Euler(tiltAroundX, 0, tiltAroundZ)
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, target, (Time.deltaTime * smooth))
