Question by Gas_Station_Sushi · Mar 28, 2017 at 07:08 AM · 2d rotation

Making a 2D object rotate to the direction of movement?

I'm making a top down 2D game and want the rotation of the object face the movement. I've looked at other tutorials and none of them seem to work. Also just as a note, I'm using an asset called CNCONTROLS which adds in a joystick. Here is what I have:

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 using CnControls;
 
 public class Playermovement : MonoBehaviour {
 
 
 
     public int speed;
     public Rigidbody2D r;
 
     //movement script
 
 
 
 
 
     void FixedUpdate (){
 
         if (CnInputManager.GetAxis ("HMove") > 0) {
             transform.position = transform.position + Vector3.right/speed; 
 
             if (transform.eulerAngles.z != -90) {
 
                 if (transform.eulerAngles.z > -90) {
                     transform.Rotate (0, 0, -10);
                 }
                 if (transform.eulerAngles.z < -90) {
                     transform.Rotate (0, 0, 10);
                 }
             } else if (transform.eulerAngles.z == -90){
                 r.freezeRotation = true;
             }
 
 
         }
         if (CnInputManager.GetAxis ("HMove") < 0) {
             transform.position = transform.position + Vector3.left/speed; 
             transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3 (0, 0, 90);
         }
         if (CnInputManager.GetAxis ("VMove") > 0) {
             transform.position = transform.position + Vector3.up/ speed; 
             transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3 (0, 0, 0);
         }
         if (CnInputManager.GetAxis ("VMove") < 0) {
             transform.position = transform.position + Vector3.down/speed; 
             transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3 (0, 0, 180);
         }
     }
 
 
 
 }

none of them seem to work

Could you describe what exactly does not work? So the movement of your player object works but not the rotation?

PS great username! :)
