Constructs new Quaternion with given x,y,z,w components.
//Create three Sliders (Create>UI>Slider) and three Text GameObjects (Create>UI>Text). These are for manipulating the x, y, and z values of the Quaternion. The text will act as a label for each Slider, so position them appropriately. //Attach this script to a GameObject. //Click on the GameObject and attach each of the Sliders and Texts to the fields in the Inspector.
//This script shows how the numbers placed into the x, y, and z components of a Quaternion effect the GameObject when the w component is left at 1. //Use the Sliders to see the effects.
