Torque around global axis.

Hi.

I'am trying to rotate a object with AddTorque, but I want to rotate it around the global axis. The Y axis must be rotated around global and the X axis must be rotated around local.



I don't want to rotate it without physics because it becomes choppy (yes, I'm making all rotations on the FixedUpdate).

 

Do you need physics? MoveRotation would be simpler than addtorque

 

RigidBody.AddRelativeTorque(Vector3.Up * rotationSpeed); // Adds torque relative to the RigidBody's local axis, in this case positive Y.

RigidBody.AddTorque(Vector3.Up * rotationSpeed); // Adds torque to the RigidBody on the World axis, in this case the world positive Y.

 

Any kind of rotation makes the movement really jerky(inside and outside of the FixedUpdate).

This only works if there is no rotation on any axis. With the 45 degrees on the X axis that is used on the gif above it just rotates randomly.

 

You're right. That's strange. Try creating an empty as a parent to the radio. Add the Rigid Body and script to the empty. Restrict rotation to Y on the empty's RigidBody and see if that works.....
