help with rotations

[marval]

hi,

which command to use to get the “local y axis angle value” of an object ( local because this object has a different orientation ) and pass (set) this value to another object rotate in the same axis and with the same value?

Probably just transform.localRotation. It returns a quaternian, but you should be able to pass it to another transform.

transform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity; ???
and how to use it properly?

Transform.localRotation
Quaternion localRotation;
Description
The rotation of the transform relative to the parent transform’s rotation.

Unity stores rotations as Quaternions internally. To rotate an object, use Transform.Rotate. Use Transform.localEulerAngles for modifying the rotation as euler angles.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour {
void Example() {
transform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity;
}
}

That was only an example. You can use:

Quaternion temp = Player.transform.localRotation;
AnotherGameObject.transform.localRotation = temp;

if localRotation doesn’t work, you may just want to use Rotation.

and how to get/set only the y axis?

Vector3 playerV = Player.transform.eularAngles;
Vector3 anotherV = AnotherGameObject.transform.eularAngles;
AnotherGameObject.transfrom.eularAngles = new Vector3(anotherV.x,playerV.y,anotherV.z);

@fire7side

Vector3 playerV = Player.transform.eularAngles;
Vector3 anotherV = AnotherGameObject.transform.eularAngles;
AnotherGameObject.transfrom.eularAngles = new Vector3(anotherV.x,playerV.y,anotherV.z);

it was not working because I was trying to copy the angle value of an another object rotating in other orientation ( that is what I need ) as i said “from the beginning”
so instead of doing that I did this another object child of an empty object and changed the empty object orientation
now I can get the correct local value of this child and pass to any object rotate with the same value because now the angle values ​​match.

thanks anyway!
