Declaration

public void AddRelativeTorque(Vector3 torque, ForceMode mode = ForceMode.Force);

Parameters

Parameter	Description
torque	Torque vector in local coordinates.

Description

Adds a torque to the rigidbody relative to its coordinate system.

Force can be applied only to an active rigidbody. If a GameObject is inactive, AddRelativeTorque has no effect.

Wakes up the Rigidbody by default. If the torque size is zero then the Rigidbody will not be woken up.

For more information on how ForceMode affects angular velocity, see Rigidbody.AddTorque.
