Hand Control Rotation

Questions & Answers

This code refuses to work properly. The rotation is changing when I press the mouse down, but it doesn’t keep updating. I assume this is my use of If’s and else if’s but If I use a while it crashes.

#pragma strict

var handmain : Transform;
var cameraMouseLook : MouseLook;
var speed : float = 1.0;
var rotationPressed : boolean;


function Start () 
{
}

function Update () 
{
	checkRotation();
}

function checkRotation()
{
	var h = speed * Time.deltaTime * Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
	
	if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
	{
		handmain.Rotate(0,h,0); //rotate while button is held	
		cameraMouseLook.enabled = false; //disable mouselook
		rotationPressed = true; //debug
	}
	else if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
	{
		cameraMouseLook.enabled = true; //reenable mouselook
		rotationPressed = false; //debug
	}
}

If I try this, it crashes.

#pragma strict

var handmain : Transform;
var cameraMouseLook : MouseLook;
var speed : float = 1.0;
var rotationPressed : boolean;


function Start () 
{
}

function Update () 
{
	checkRotation();
}

function checkRotation()
{
	var h = speed * Time.deltaTime * Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
	
	do
	{
		handmain.Rotate(0,h,0); //rotate while button is held	
		cameraMouseLook.enabled = false; //disable mouselook
		rotationPressed = true; //debug
	}while (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0));
	
	//else if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
	{
		cameraMouseLook.enabled = true; //reenable mouselook
		rotationPressed = false; //debug
	}
}

GetMouseButtonDown() is true only once when the mouse is hit. GetMouseButton() is true while mouse is kept pressed. I think you have to move this line

 handmain.Rotate(0,h,0);

to within another if condition:

if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))

The while loop option would not work either
