Make the object rotate with the cursor while grabbing it

Questions & Answers
1

Hi, Just started using Unity as of yesterday and learning Java Script for the first time and have come up across my second problem.

I have modified some code and added a few bits of my own, which makes my model rotate by itself but when a mouse cursor hovers on and off it pauses the rotation.

My question is what code do i need to allow to make the model rotate with the cursor while grabbing it?

Here is my code that i have done to stop/start the rotation when hovering over the model and have tried to experiment to incorporate the rotating grabbing in the pause state but with no success. 

var turnSpeed = 1.0;
var rotateObject = true;

function Update() 
{

if(rotateObject) {
        transform.eulerAngles.y += turnSpeed * turnSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
    }   
}

function OnMouseOver() {
    rotateObject = false;
}

function OnMouseExit() {
    rotateObject = true;
}

Would be grateful for any help. thanks.

use function OnMouseDrag()

Always use transform.Rotate() when you want to rotate an object. Modifying the values directly will almost always produce strange side-effects.

As value for the rotation you could use something like turnSpeed * Input.GetAxis("Mouse X").
