Rigidbody.MoveRotation

Questions & Answers

Hey all

So I’m writing a little tank controller, nothing fancy or realistic, and I seem to be having issues rotating the rigidbody. At first transform.Rotate seemed to work but I don’t think it rotates the rigidbody. So now I’m trying rigidbody.MoveRotation and well… it doesn’t seem to work. My MoveTank function works fine but I can’t seem to get the darn thing to rotate. I must be doing something wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class TankController : MonoBehaviour {
	
	public float speed = 2f;
	public float rotateSpeed = 2f;
	Vector3 movementZ;
	Vector3 rotationY;

	void FixedUpdate () 
	{
		float y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
		float z = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"); 

		MoveTank (z);
		RotateTank (y);

	}

    //Move rigidbody
	void MoveTank(float z) 
	{
        //Move forward
		if (z > 0)
		{
		    movementZ.Set (0f, 0f, z);
		    movementZ = movementZ.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime;
		    rigidbody.MovePosition (transform.position + movementZ);
		}

        //Move backward half speed
		else if (z < 0)
		{
			movementZ.Set (0f, 0f, z);
			movementZ = movementZ.normalized * (speed / 2) * Time.deltaTime;
			rigidbody.MovePosition (transform.position + movementZ);
		}
	}

    //Rotate rigidbody
	void RotateTank(float y) 
	{
		rotationY.Set (0f, y, 0f);
		rotationY = rotationY.normalized * rotateSpeed;
		Quaternion deltaRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationY * Time.deltaTime);
		rigidbody.MoveRotation(rigidbody.rotation * deltaRotation);
	}
}

Thanks guys, I should have just gone to sleep last night lol.
Fixed the issue. Here is the relevant bits of code in case anyone else swings by with similar issues.

void RotateTank(float y) 
	{	
		if (y != 0)
		{
			rotationY.Set(0f, y, 0f);
			rotationY = rotationY.normalized * rotateSpeed;
			Quaternion deltaRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationY);
			rigidbody.MoveRotation(rigidbody.rotation * deltaRotation);
		}
	}

void MoveTank(float z) 
	{
		if (z > 0)
		{
		    movement = transform.forward;
		    movement = movement.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime;
			rigidbody.MovePosition (rigidbody.position + movement);
		}

		else if (z < 0)
		{
			movement = transform.forward * -1;
			movement = movement.normalized * (speed / 2) * Time.deltaTime;
			rigidbody.MovePosition (rigidbody.position + movement);;
		}
	}
