Update rotation from touch and drag

Questions & Answers
1

Hi everyone, I’m making a multiplayer 2D CirclePong game in Unity and have ran into an issue involving the racket controls.

I want the controls of the game to be so that if I drag and hold the white racket with my finger only the z axis rotation of the racket moves. Meaning as long as I hold the racket and move my finger in circles the racket would move along with finger always staying on a circular path.
Please see the image to better understand the idea.

I really have no clue where to begin on this so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

You can use this to convert mouse position to a world point.

Vector3 worldPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

And then associate de the worldPosition.x to the Gameobject rotation along the Z axis

someGameObject.Transform.rotation = new Vector3(0 , 0, worldPosition.x);

Hope it can help you
