How to not make a child object affected by parent object's angular velocity?

Ok so iv'e got 2 objects, 1 is the Asteroid and other is a child glow following it, now the asteroid i have can rotate around via script, i'm trying to make the child glow not rotate with it, but just simply follow, i have tried adding the same rotator script that the parent asteroid has to the child glow and make it's value 0 but it's still rotating! , here's a pic of what exactly i need:


and what i don't want is if the parent asteroid rotates while going down, for the child to rotate like this with it:



i've also tried playing with the glow inspector setting but so far no luck

 

It sounds like you have the glow object actually set as a child of the asteroid in the scene hierarchy. Don't do that. Make it an entirely separate object, with a script that makes it move to the appropriate position relative to the thing it's following in LateUpdate.

Alternatively, I guess you could keep it a child of the asteroid, but then you'll need a script that resets its global rotation every frame with something like

Code (csharp):

1. void LateUpdate() {
2.    transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
3. }

HTH,

to make a script that moves to positions relative to parent object seems way above my skill to make

i'll try the other way, thanks

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public Transform objectToFollow;
2. public Vector3 offset;
3.  
4. void Update () {
5.     transform.position = objectToFollow.position + offset;
6. }

 

oh wow, ok i will try.. what value do i replace the offset with ?

 

Just assign it in the inspector via trial and error.
