Rotating a body around the y-axis

[ensomniac]

Hey Guys,
Quick question that I'm hoping has a simple answer. I've implemented Chipmunk in my project and I need to rotate an object around its y-axis. Since Chipmunk controls the position, rotation and scale of the body, I can't simply do:

Code: Select all

gameObject.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.y = 45;

But I'd like to. My initial thought was to do

Code: Select all

Chipmunk.UpdatedTransform(gameObject)

But that didn't work.

I also tried:

Code: Select all

body.angle = 45;

Although I'm not sure that's what I'm after. I need to rotate this interactively in the game, not just at object creation.

Any help would be great. Thanks

You'll need to make a parent object and attach the ChipmunkBody to that. Same problem as with PhysX where the transform is locked to the body, but a little more strict since Chipmunk bodies can't rotate at all on the x or y axes.

That makes sense. Thanks for the reply and clarification.
