[stopped]

So for a simple little weapon viewmodel, i wrote this code to add offset to the rotation while still applying the slerp with the offset. I can do this with transform (not slerp however) fine but not rotation.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class followcam : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public Transform targetcamera;
8.     public Vector3 offset;
9.     public Quaternion rotationOffset;
10.     public float rotationSpeed = 30f;
11.  
12.     void Update()
13.     {
14.         transform.position = targetcamera.position + offset;
15.         transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetcamera.rotation, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
16.         // Trying to add RotationOffset to the new result
17.  
18.     }
19. }
20.  

 

It's generally helpful to post what you tried. Makes it easier to figure out where someone went wrong.

My guess is that you were trying to combine the rotations with a + sign. To combine two Quaternions into a single rotation, one multiplies them.

Note that multiplication of Quaternions is not commutative; A * B is not the same as B * A. The second rotation is applied relative to the reference frame of the first. For instance, if your object's current orientation is R, and dY is a rotation around the Y axis, then setting your rotation to (dY * R) will rotate the object around the global Y axis, while setting your rotation to (R * dY) will rotate the object around its own Y axis.

 

Okay, so if you view the attached video, when the game is stopped; i want it to slerp to that position, but when i start the game, i get the wanted result execpt for the rotation being weird, i want to apply an offset to the finished result, i tried doing

targetcamera.rotation * rotationoffset

and vice versa, but to no avail.
