Description

The handle can rotate freely on all axes.


FreeRotate handle seen in the Scene View.

	// Create a simple rotate handle (half scale) on the 
	// target object that lets you freely rotate
	// the Object Without having to select the "Rotate" button
	
	@CustomEditor (FreeRotate)
	class FreeRotateHandleJS extends Editor {
		function OnSceneGUI () {
	        target.rot = Handles.FreeRotateHandle(target.rot, target.transform.position, 0.5);
	        if (GUI.changed)
	            EditorUtility.SetDirty (target);
	    }
	}

And the script attached to this Handle:

	@script ExecuteInEditMode()

	function Update () {

	}
