AddTorque doesn't rotate?

Questions & Answers
1

Their are no console errors but this is the line i'm trying to make and it wont rotate, also just so you know it's part of my airplane, which has a 1000 mass rigidbody, and its already got a 350000 force acting on it to move it fast so could this be effecting it?

if(Input.GetKey("d") && (groundtrigger.triggered==0))
{
rigidbody.AddRelativeTorque(Airplane.transform.right * -banking);
}

i just tried making a test and i put a script like this on a cube. and it worked... then i copied and pasted it and made so it would be focused the the airplane and it doesnt work, but if im on the ground and i the torque is like 20000000 it would jump into the air, why wouldn't it rotate like it is supposed to, i even erased the trigger part? so i dont have to worry about that.

Does the rigid body have infinite air drag or is there a constraint on the rigidbody that locks rotation ? Also what is the nomenclature ? The script is applying a relative torque in the world right direction of an Airplane reference ?

try doing something basic first:: Airplane.rigidbody.addRelativeTorque( Vector3.right, 100000);

Sidenote: I prefer the style where the rigid body has low mass, and I account for the forces in my controller rather than have it on the rigidbody.

Check to make sure you have a RigidBody and that its IsKinematic box is not checked.

Also be sure you are applying the torque to the object with the RigidBody and not a child.

(For future readers who happen on this thread via search like myself)

I had a similar issue and I solved it by adding Torque on the frame after adding force:

Rigidbody.AddForce(targetPlayer * LaunchSpeed, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
StartCoroutine(AddTorqueCo(TransformRef.right * this.SpinSpeed));

private IEnumerator AddTorqueCo(Vector3 torque) {
    yield return null;
    Rigidbody.AddTorque(torque, ForceMode.Force);
}
