Change GameObject pivot point

Question

Unity object not rotating in center. It was fine until an hour, I don't believe I changed the code or anything. I have also tried messing with the pivot/centre buttons on the top left but nothing is helping. The game Object is not rotating in the middle.

Rotator Code:

using UnityEngine;

public class Rotator : MonoBehaviour
{

    public float speed = 100f;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        transform.Rotate(0f, 0f, speed * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}

Answer 1

The default space of the Rotate function Space.Self . You should provide Space.World to its third parameter to make it rotate in world space.

transform.Rotate(0f, 0f, speed * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);

If this does not solve your problem, you have to open your model up in any 3D application such as Maya and reset/center the pivot point then re-import it into Unity.

You can also use another GameObject as parent of this GameObject you want to rotate to solve this pivot issues.

1 .Create a new GameObject

2 .Move it to the center position of the object you are rotating.

3 .Once you are fine with that location, drag that object you are rotating under the GameObject created in #1 . The GameObject you are rotating should now be a child of that GameObject created in #1 .

You can now rotate the GameObject created in #1 instead.

Although, I hate doing that but it works too. I suggest using a 3D application to do it to move the pivot point.
