Unity 3D - rotating gameobject without rotating axis
Hope my title summarises my problem. I have a rocket on a 2d game that only moves horizontally across the screen. I want it to rotate towards the players finger (the direction of movement), but cannot find a way to rotate the object without rotating the whole axis it moves on. I simply need it to seem like it has turned, but it should keep moving along the x. How can I go about this?
void Start () {
//scoreT = GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI> ();
gameSpeed = 1;
score = 0;
Rigidbody2D rb2d = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
float MoveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
Vector2 Movement = new Vector2 (MoveHorizontal, 0.0f);
rb2d.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (0.0f, 0, 0f, rb2d.velocity.x * -tilt);
transform.Translate (MoveHorizontal * speed, 0, 0);

One thing you can do is to modify rigidbody.rotation of your rocket rocket to make it tilt, when it moves, to one direction or to another. For example:
float tilt - 0.3f;
//In case you prefer the rotation in another axis you just need to modify the position of the rigidbody.velocity.x * -tilt
rigidbody.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (0.0f, 0.0f, rigidbody.velocity.x * -tilt);
Since you didn't add any code I am not sure how you are moving your rocket, so I will post a generic code you will need to adapt depending on your own project:
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed;
//The tild factor
public float tilt;
//The limit within the spaceship can move
public Boundary boundary;
void FixedUpdate ()
{
//You will need to capture the screen touchs of the user for the inputs
float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");
//Applying the movement to the GameObject
Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
rigidbody.velocity = movement * speed;
//To ensure the GameObject doesnt move outside of the game boundary
rigidbody.position = new Vector3
(
Mathf.Clamp (rigidbody.position.x, boundary.xMin, boundary.xMax),
0.0f,
Mathf.Clamp (rigidbody.position.z, boundary.zMin, boundary.zMax)
);
//Here is where you apply the rotation
rigidbody.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (0.0f, 0.0f, rigidbody.velocity.x * -tilt);
}
}

What you want is to move your object in global/world space. As it seems the movement of your rocket is currently happening within local space. So when you rotate the rocket it's local coordinates are rotated as well. The world space coordinates are fixed and will never rotate when you change your rocket.
Here is another explanation at that.
You can also have a look at Transform.localPosition and Transform.position and see how your rocket behaves when using one or the other.

You must move your object relative to the world and rotate locally.
So use Transform.position to move your object and Transform.LocalRotation to rotate it.
Or you can put the part that must rotate as a children of the object that translate, and rotate the children.

Can you explain how I can achieve this? I am failing to understand localRotation's properties.
– Mattattack
Nov 21 '18 at 11:33
you use Transform.LocalRotation has you use Transform.Rotation. The difference betwwen those two when you use Rotation it's de rotation of the object relative to the world When you use Local rotation it's relative to his parent.

You could make the sprite/renderer a child of the GameObject that is your rocket.
Then you can freely rotate the sprite/renderer around without changing the rotation you move the parent GameObject.
This is a hacky solution but it achieves the desired result.

What you want is to move your object in global/world space. As it seems the movement of your rocket is currently happening within local space. So when you rotate the rocket it's local coordinates are rotated as well. The world space coordinates are fixed and will never rotate when you change your rocket.
Here is another explanation at that.
You can also have a look at Transform.localPosition and Transform.position and see how your rocket behaves when using one or the other.

I've already tried setting my axis relative to the world and it seemed to have no effect, I may have done something wrong, but it still did not work.

You must move your object relative to the world and rotate locally.
So use Transform.position to move your object and Transform.LocalRotation to rotate it.
Or you can put the part that must rotate as a children of the object that translate, and rotate the children.

Can you explain how I can achieve this? I am failing to understand localRotation's properties.

you use Transform.LocalRotation has you use Transform.Rotation. The difference betwwen those two when you use Rotation it's de rotation of the object relative to the world When you use Local rotation it's relative to his parent.

You could make the sprite/renderer a child of the GameObject that is your rocket.
Then you can freely rotate the sprite/renderer around without changing the rotation you move the parent GameObject.
This is a hacky solution but it achieves the desired result.
