Description

A Quaternion that stores the rotation of the Transform in world space.

using UnityEngine;// Transform.rotation example.
// Rotate a GameObject using a Quaternion.
// Tilt the cube using the arrow keys. When the arrow keys are released
// the cube will be rotated back to the center using Slerp.
public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    float smooth = 5.0f;
    float tiltAngle = 60.0f;
    void Update()
    {
        // Smoothly tilts a transform towards a target rotation.
        float tiltAroundZ = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * tiltAngle;
        float tiltAroundX = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * tiltAngle;
        // Rotate the cube by converting the angles into a quaternion.
        Quaternion target = Quaternion.Euler(tiltAroundX, 0, tiltAroundZ);
        // Dampen towards the target rotation
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, target,  Time.deltaTime * smooth);
    }
