Changing Prefab Direction

Hey Awesome Forum Members!

(I think i have coders grammar at the moment so excuse capitals if they're in the wrong spot )

I'm a little bit stuck at the moment to which methods will allow me to change just the direction the prefab is facing, it's a game similar to that zig zag game, and i have all the mechanics working, and the game looking sweet! Just my character is always facing the same way..

here's my movement code that changes the players direction when you click the mouse;

Code (JavaScript):

1.       if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && !isDead)
2.         {
3.             playing = true;
4.             score++;
5.             scoreText.text = score.ToString();
6.  
7.             //Switches the players direction every time we click ont he screen or mouse
8.             if (dir == Vector3.forward)
9.             {
10.                 dir = Vector3.left;
11.             }
12.             else
13.             {
14.                 dir = Vector3.forward;
15.             }
16.         }
17.  
18.         //Calculates the player's movement
19.         float amoutToMove = speed * Time.deltaTime;
20.  
21.         //Makes the player move
22.         transform.Translate(dir * amoutToMove);
23.     }

Cheers guys! if you can help me out, you rock

 

If the direction you want to rotate is known then you can change it using Euler angles:

Code (CSharp):

1. // Rotate 90 degrees only on the y axis
2. Quaternion rot = transform.rotation;
3. transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(rot.x, 90, rot.z)
4.  
5. // up = 0 | right = 90 | down = 180 | left = 270

If you need a dynamic rotation where you want to rotate towards the spot where you clicked, the code will be very different. It depends what you want to do.

 

Cheers @Saladon i'll take a look into it!
