Lock rotation when moving so object only rotates once

Questions & Answers

Hi, I have the following script for my movement, however when I move the object spins (for obvious reasons).

How can I prevent if from rotating more than once in any one given direction?

            if (Input.GetKey(playerControls.playerOneControlRight))
            {
                transform.position += new Vector3(0.035f * playerAttributes.playerOneBaseMoveSpeed, 0, 0) * Time.deltaTime;
                transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, 180, 0)); 
            }

            if (Input.GetKey(playerControls.playerOneControlLeft))
            {
                transform.position -= new Vector3(0.035f * playerAttributes.playerOneBaseMoveSpeed, 0, 0) * Time.deltaTime;
                transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, 180, 0)); 
            }

Many thanks in advance :slight_smile:

You can, for example, store this information as a boolean. You can initialize it to false, then only rotate left when its false and immediately set it to true. And rotate right when its true and set it to false.
