smooth move & rotate object to set position and rotation.

I've been working on the following script (am new to scripting).
I am able to mouse click on object enabling it to spin and slow down over time. What i would like to do is add the ability to press a button and have it move to a set position and rotation from where its position currently is after coming to a stop.
I have managed to get the translation working but am struggling with the rotation. I've read so many forums on it that now i am completely confused as to what I'm supposed to use. Is it vector3 or Quaternion or what. Someone please help!!!

Take a look to this: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/need-help-making-object-rotate-toward-other-object-solved.261795/

 

thanks Fraconte, I will check it out - although i notice its written in C sharp and I'm just learning JavaScript, will see if i can get my head around it.

 

Check this too then: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.LookRotation.html

 

Wow that worked awesome, many thanks! I have hit another small problem that maybe you could help me with.

transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, newPosition, smooth * Time.deltaTime);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.rotation, newRotation, smooth * Time.deltaTime);

I only want this part of the code to run when the object spinning (dragging) is false as it seems to be fighting against my spin object code. ( starts rotating the object back on mouse release) So thought would add it to my else if (dragging) statement which does work but only moves a bit at a time on multiple button presses.

Could you point me in the right direction again, thanks in advance.

Use the Insert Code button to make your code readable... and tell me how is the scene setup (what object have what script etc.)

 

just one object with this script attached and some static spot lights. The scene is a simple model viewer, you can rotate the object with the mouse or press buttons to view different angles via the GUI, Thanks jamuk.

94.         newRotation = rotationC;
95.     }
96.     //End GUI Buttons//
97.    
98.    }

 

Of course they interfere... Put them in a function and call it only when you press the buttons:

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. function MoveRotate (newPosition : Vector3, newRotation : Quaternion)
3. {
4.      transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, newPosition, smooth * Time.deltaTime);
5.      transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.rotation, newRotation, smooth * Time.deltaTime);
6. }
7.  

Edit: var error corrected

 

Thanks Fraconte - I added the function and MoveRotate(); to my button to call it but i keep getting an error BCE0043 Unexpected token var

Sorry there was a var in excess in the function's arguments. I corrected the code.

 

Can I see the code?

 

I edited my post up there.

 

I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention.
To call the function do I put MoveRotate(); on my button ?
I get this error but cant work it out.
BCE0017: The best overload for the method 'rotateObject.MoveRotate(UnityEngine.Vector3, UnityEngine.Quaternion)' is not compatible with the argument list '()'.

 

You have to pass 2 parameters to MoveRotate... But you can simply get rid of the parameters in the function definition (you just have newPosition and newRotation as private var).

Change
function MoveRotate (newPosition : Vector3, newRotation : Quaternion)
in
function MoveRotate ()

 

Thanks Fraconte.
I'm still getting the same problem where the object moves to its new position one frame at a time on each button press.

My fault sorry... moveUpdate have to be called from Update when you press a button. The problem is you know when to start moving but you have to find a way to stop too.

 

Try this:

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. function Update ()
3. {
4.     if (!dragging)
5.         MoveRotate ();
6. }
7.  

and in the buttons code simply set dragging = false;

 

Thanks for all your help on this.
I took out the function awake() so now when it starts the spinning works great. When i hit the buttons to change its position and rotation it works, however when i go to spin the object again after button press it fights against the spin code and try's to move back to the target location again.

Try to set dragging = false ONLY when you press a button.

 

Hi Fraconte,
I think I did that but without much luck. I have uploaded a demo to my website as i don't think i am very good at explaining things.

If you mouse click the cube you can spin it around. At the top of the screen click buttons A,B and C. It will rotate and position the cube, but when you go to click on it and spin again it slowly rotates back to the start position and looks a bit shaky.

Wow, Thankyou so much Fraconte! That is awesome, now i understand what you mean by getting it to stop.
Thanks again, Jamuk.
