Rotation as in scene view

Questions & Answers

Hi,
I’m trying to rotate the leg of a biped but I’m confused about how to achieve this through scripting. I want to rotate the leg just as it rotates in the scene view using the rotation tool, take a look at the picture below:

I noticed that when I rotate the leg in the scene view, not only one axis changes its values but all of them and also the values for position axis change.
My question here is, how do I achieve this through a script, I tried different methods of rotation but all of them gave me strange results.

That’s because it uses Quaternion Rotation. I’m not even going to bother explaining it, because I barely understand it myself, I just use it, so sorry for that. :smiley:

If you just want to know how to rotate based on given values through script, use Quaternion.Slerp. Otherwise, if you want to know how you can actually have a script which emulates the Scene View rotation through mouse interaction, have a look here.

Hope this helps! Klep
