Check is object is rotating

Questions & Answers

Hi !

I’m looking to find out if an object is rotating. Not to a specific number, or from one. Not between two numbers. Just simply rotating to any number and in any direction. Is that possible ? :slight_smile:

Something like this but without the specific 90 degrees on y

if (myObject.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.y == 90)

Thanks !

You could store every frame the oldRotation of myObject in a variable and, in the next frame, check if the variable has changed. Something like this:

Vector3 oldEulerAngles;

void Start(){
     oldEulerAngles = myObject.transfrom.rotation.eulerAngles;
}

void Update(){
     if (oldEulerAngles == myObject.transfrom.rotation.eulerAngles){
          //NO ROTATION
     } else{
          oldEulerAngles = myObject.transfrom.rotation.eulerAngles;
          //DO WHATEVER YOU WANT
     }
}

if you have a rigidbody component attached the easiest solution is to check the angular velocity:

Hello Hyperactive,

You can use transform.Rotate to rotate your object like this, Apply transform.Rotate in Update :

function Update() 
{
		// Slowly rotate the object around its X , Y & Z axis at 1 degree/second.
		transform.Rotate(Time.deltaTime, Time.deltaTime, Time.deltaTime);
}
