Unity Script Reference – Quaternion.operator *

Quaternion.operator *

static operator * (lhs : Quaternion, rhs : Quaternion) : Quaternion

Description

Combines rotations lhs and rhs.

Rotating a point first with lhs and then with rhs is the same as rotating the point by the combined rotation. Note that rotations are not commutative: lhs * rhs does not equal to rhs * lhs.

JavaScripts

// Applies the rotation of
// extraRotation to the current rotation

var extraRotation : Transform;
transform.rotation *= extraRotation.rotation;

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class example : MonoBehaviour {
public Transform extraRotation;
void Awake() {
transform.rotation *= extraRotation.rotation;
}
}

import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

class example(MonoBehaviour):

public extraRotation as Transform

def Awake():
transform.rotation *= extraRotation.rotation

static operator * (rotation : Quaternion, point : Vector3) : Vector3

Description

Rotates the point point with rotation.

JavaScripts

// Moves the object along relativeDirection
// Usually you would use transform.Move for this

var relativeDirection = Vector3.forward;

function Update () {
var absoluteDirection = transform.rotation * relativeDirection;
transform.position += absoluteDirection * Time.deltaTime;
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class example : MonoBehaviour {
public Vector3 relativeDirection = Vector3.forward;
void Update() {
Vector3 absoluteDirection = transform.rotation * relativeDirection;
transform.position += absoluteDirection * Time.deltaTime;
}
}

import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

class example(MonoBehaviour):

public relativeDirection as Vector3 = Vector3.forward

def Update():
absoluteDirection as Vector3 = (transform.rotation * relativeDirection)
transform.position += (absoluteDirection * Time.deltaTime)
