Hi,

I have a simple cube that I can move left, right, up and down with the keyboard. I then wanted the cube to turn 90 degrees to flip it over in the director it is going, unfortunately it’s not working as expected, and I am guessing it’s me not understanding local and world coordinates.

I have a video of it so it’s more clear…

I read through a few articles and the Unity reference, but I can’t seem to get this working as I want.

The code I use for moving and rotating are just simple methods like so…

Moving right:

function move_right(){

	animating_cube = true;

	var start = transform.position.x;

	var y = transform.position.y;

	var z = transform.position.z;

	var cur : float = 0.0;

	

	while(cur < 1.0){

		cur += 0.06;

		transform.position = Vector3(start - cur, y, z);

		yield;

	}

	animating_cube = false;

}

Rotating right:

function rotate_right(){

  var curRot : float = 0;

  var startRot : float = transform.eulerAngles.z;

  

  while (curRot < 90) {

     curRot += 300 * Time.deltaTime;

     transform.eulerAngles.z = startRot + curRot;

     yield;

  }

  

  transform.eulerAngles.z = Mathf.Round(startRot + 90);

}

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

I would use animation so you can’t mess up the rotation of the cube. I’m pretty sure you could animate that inside of unity. To do that just go to window > animation, and there’s a bunch of tutorials online that can help you out.
