rotate and tilt at the same time

Questions & Answers

Hi,

my spaceship is using lookat to face the target vector. (RTS style game, topdown view)
I would like to tilt (lean) the spaceship to the left or to the right when depending on the angle between ship and tartget.
I tried modifying one axis while rotating, but thats not working since transform.lookat
will not allow to change the rotation.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks but that did not help. Baking and look rotation on one game object at the same time causes many problems.
I got it working now.

I have now 2 game objects.

Parent: Deals with the lookrotaion of the object.

Child: is used for banking the object.

Code used:

var target : GameObject; // where to fly and look to.
    var turnSpeed = 130f;
    var maxBank = 130f;
    var moveSpeed = 2f;
    var banker : GameObject; // Child of this transform
  
   
    
       function Update ()
    {
    var currentTarget =target;
 
    var lookDirection = currentTarget.transform.position - transform.position;
    var normalizedLookDirection = lookDirection.normalized;
    var bank = maxBank * -Vector3.Dot(transform.right, normalizedLookDirection);
    var rot = Quaternion.LookRotation(normalizedLookDirection);
    banker.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(bank, Vector3.forward);
  
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.rotation, rot, Time.deltaTime * turnSpeed/300 );
    transform.Translate(new Vector3(0,0,moveSpeed) * Time.deltaTime);
    }
