So i have an object that i want to rotate when the cursor is on screen but when i move the cursor off screen i want it to return to its original position.
this is my code but it doesn’t work.

var joint : GameObject;

var joint1 : Transform=joint.transform.rotation;

function Update () {

if mouse on screen do this.......
joint.transform.Rotate(Vector3(0,-1,0)*(Time.deltaTime));


if mouse not on screen.... 
joint.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(joint.transform.rotation, joint1, Time.deltaTime*100);

}

Thanks in advance

joint1 should be private and a Quaternion not a Transform (and probably set in Start(), not like that).

Actually i figured it out.where stuff1 is ur current xyzw rotation coordinates and
stuff2 i set as (0,0,0,0) for original.

in my case i used (0,0,joint.transform.rotation.y,0) for stuff1 cuz i only changed the y axis.

Hope this helps someone

var joint : GameObject;

function Update () {

if mouse on screen do this…
joint.transform.Rotate(Vector3(0,-1,0)*(Time.deltaTime));

if mouse not on screen…
joint.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(Quaternion(stuff1),Quaternion(stuff2), Time.deltaTime*100);
}
