Question by MooseTrap · Apr 20, 2010 at 08:55 AM · rotationtransformeuleranglesfloatingpoint

EulerAngles value as floating point

Just a bit of clarification needed on this...

Are Rotation.EulerAngles values limited to 360 degrees, or can I get a limitless value from it as an object rotates around an axis?

Cheers!

Rotations are stored as Quaternions and quaternions do not support many rotations (as Euler angles do), so no - you can't.

Thanks! So if I want a value to increase as something is rotating, I would need to give it its own variable that changes according to the rotation direction rather than draw from eulerAngles?
