How Do I Add speed to my rotation

I have two scripts for pinball flippers…
They rotate where they are supposed to, but it’s so fast that collision isn’t being detected by the ball when they are moving!
I looked all up and down google for a solution to my problem, but I’m not getting anywhere

Please HALP Me! Thanks!

function Update () {

if(Input.GetButtonDown(“RightFlipper”)){

transform.Rotate (0, -81, 0);
}

if(Input.GetButtonUp(“RightFlipper”)){

transform.eulerAngles = Vector3(0, 277.81, 180);
}

}`

function Update () {

	if(Input.GetButtonDown("LeftFlipper")){
	
	transform.Rotate (0, 81, 0);
	}
	if(Input.GetButtonUp("LeftFlipper")){
	
	transform.eulerAngles = Vector3(0, 180, 180);
	}
}

Also I can’t ask my questions 3/4 of the time because of the tag error? And it doesn’t give me tags to select from? Not sure how after however many years this is still a problem with the site?alt text

AddTorque(..)? Use it in your Rigidbody.

I wouldn't even begin to know how to Use that lol

does the ball or the flipper have a rigidbody attached? Or do both?

 –

I decided to go with a hinge joint because the flipper was going through the ball with rotate for some reason. The ball is the only thing in my project with a rigid body. It's all working how I want now, but for future reference I would still like to know how to change the speed of transform.rotate (as that was my question here).

Well, this would rotate 1 degree a second on the y axis, which is really slow: transform.Rotate( 0, Time.deltaTime, 0); but of course you could multiply it by how many degrees you want it to move per second and make it negative to go the opposite direction: transform.Rotate( 0, -Time.deltaTime * 10, 0 ); That would rotate it in the opposite direction at a rate of 10 degrees a second. You could find out the angle either by calculating the time that has passed or of course by checking the euler angles.

that might work.. would need a clamp but I think that would be pretty good.
