I didn’t test this, but I believe that you can just set the child transform.rotation to a fixed value in LateUpdate to eliminate any parent-originated rotation. You can save the initial child rotation at Start, like below (attach this to the child):

var iniRot: Quaternion;

function Start(){
    iniRot = transform.rotation;
}

function LateUpdate(){
    transform.rotation = iniRot;
}

NOTE: If the parent is being moved by physics you may have problems, because physics runs at its own pace, and a cycle may occur between LateUpdate and the scene rendering.

thanks for the script !..was having same problem

Many thanks to you sir.

Gracias, el efecto final es increíble.

Liking the simple solution. But what if I want to freeze the X and Z axis only? I get an error when using transform.rotation.y = rotation.y ?

this script work . attach with child object … :slight_smile:

    function Update () {
var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.up , Vector3.forward);
transform.rotation = rotation;
}

But not working if I use "AddForce" to this object
