Question Lerp Rotation 360 degrees without Wrap?

So I'm using Lerp to move a GameObject from one waypoint to another and I'd like to rotate that object 360 degrees as it moves along the vector.

Here's the code I'm using. It works fine, until I set the targetRot to 360. At that point, the rotation "wraps" and the object doesn't rotate at all. If I set it to, say, 180 degees, it works fine.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class LerpExample : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     [SerializeField] Transform start;
4.     Vector2 startPos;  
5.     [SerializeField] Transform end;
6.     Vector2 endPos;
7.     float currentRot;
8.     float targetRot;  
9.  
10.     public float cP = 0f;
11.     public float tP = 1f;
12.     public float speed = 0.5f;
13.  
14.     void Start()
15.     {
16.         startPos = start.transform.position;
17.         endPos = end.transform.position;
18.         currentRot = start.eulerAngles.z;
19.         targetRot = end.eulerAngles.z;
20.     }
21.  
22.     void Update()
23.     {
24.         if(cP == tP)
25.         {
26.             if(tP == 0){tP = 1;}
27.             else{tP = 0;}
28.         }
29.         cP = Mathf.MoveTowards(cP, tP, Time.deltaTime * speed);
30.         transform.position = Vector2.Lerp(startPos, endPos, cP);
31.  
32.         float angle = Mathf.Lerp(currentRot, targetRot, cP);
33.         transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 0, angle);
34.     }
35. }

How would I stop the wrapping and have the object rotate a full 360 degrees as it travels from startPos to endPos?

Thanks!

 

Any reason you're writing all the code above instead of just using a tweener like LeanTween / DOTween?

Or else just make yourself a hard-wired animation, throw away ALL that code.

 

Mathf includes "Angle" versions of functions that work correctly for degrees -- e.g. Mathf.LerpAngle.
