Help to rotate stop rotate

Unity Engine
1

hi everyone. Im trying to figuere out how to make something rotate on himself, and stop at 90º then wait for some seconds and start to rotate over again.
Im new in C# I used to write on Js.

I was thinkings in something simple like:

transform.Rotate (new Vector3 (0, 0, 1)*speed, Space.Self);

with something like this, I can make the object to rotate. But I dont know how to stop it in the 90º or even how to make it wat some seconds before start to rotating again since “yield” work pretty different in C#

Im kinda lost right now :c I would really appreciate some help

I think yo could do everything you need to in the update method. This should be a starting point.

float startTime;
float endTime;
float startAngle = 0.0f;
float endAngle = 90.0f;

void Start() {
  startTime = Time.time + 5.0f;
  endTime = Time.time + 10.0f;
}

void Update() {
  // Set the angle
  if (Time.time > startTime) {
    float t = (Time.time - startTime) / (endTime - startTime)
    float rotate = Mathf.LerpAngle(startAngle, endAngle, t);
    transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(0.0f, rotate, 0.0f);
  }

  // Finish and get ready for next rotation
  if (Time.time > endTime) {
    startTime = Time.time + 5.0f;
    endTime = Time.time + 10.0f;
  }
}

Thanks, just now I was writting somthing similar, but what you give me help me to improve it. When finish and working I’ll post here so you can let’me what you think.

Finnally I got it working:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class BigGear : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float startTime;
    public float endTime;
   
    void Start()
        {
        startTime = Time.time + 0.0f;
        endTime = Time.time + 3.0f;
        }
   
    void Update()
        {
        if (Time.time > startTime)
            {
            transform.Rotate (new Vector3 (0, 0, 1)*4, Space.Self);
            }
        // Finish and get ready for next rotation
        if (Time.time > endTime)
            {
            startTime = Time.time + 1.0f;
            endTime = Time.time + 4.0f;
            transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, 12);
            }
        }
}

Thanks a lot srsly! :smile:
