Rigidbody.AddTorque

Parameters

Description

Adds a torque to the rigidbody.

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

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

// Rotate an object around its Y (upward) axis in response to
// left/right controls.
