public function MoveRotation(rot: Quaternion): void;
public void MoveRotation(Quaternion rot);

Parameters

rot The new rotation for the Rigidbody.

Description

Rotates the rigidbody to rotation.

Use Rigidbody.MoveRotation to rotate a Rigidbody, complying with the Rigidbody's interpolation setting.

If Rigidbody interpolation is enabled on the Rigidbody, calling Rigidbody.MoveRotation will resulting in a smooth transition between the two positions in any intermediate frames rendered. This should be used if you want to continuously rotate a rigidbody in each FixedUpdate.

Set Rigidbody.rotation instead, if you want to teleport a rigidbody from one rotation to another, with no intermediate positions being rendered.

var eulerAngleVelocity : Vector3;
var rb: Rigidbody;

function Start() { rb = GetComponent.<Rigidbody>(); }

function FixedUpdate () { var deltaRotation : Quaternion = Quaternion.Euler(eulerAngleVelocity * Time.deltaTime); rb.MoveRotation(rb.rotation * deltaRotation); }
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { public Vector3 eulerAngleVelocity; public Rigidbody rb; void Start() { rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>(); } void FixedUpdate() { Quaternion deltaRotation = Quaternion.Euler(eulerAngleVelocity * Time.deltaTime); rb.MoveRotation(rb.rotation * deltaRotation); } }
