Player Rotation Handler in Unity

This C# script for Unity manages the rotation of a player character based on movement input. If the player is braking, the rotation is ignored. Otherwise, it calculates the target rotation from the movement vector and smoothly applies it to the player transform, enhancing the gameplay experience.

using UnityEngine;

public class RotationHandler : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Transform player; // The child object (player) to rotate
    [SerializeField] private MoveAction moveAction;

    [SerializeField] private float rotationSpeed = 5f;

    void Update()
    {
        // Skip rotation if player is braking
        if (moveAction.IsBraking())
        {
            return;
        }

        // Get the current move vector from the MoveAction script
        Vector3 moveVector = moveAction.GetMoveVector();

        // Only rotate if there is movement and not braking
        if (moveVector.sqrMagnitude > 0)
        {
            RotatePlayer(moveVector);
        }
    }

    void RotatePlayer(Vector3 moveDirection)
    {
        // Get the target rotation based on the movement direction
        Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(moveDirection);
        Vector3 targetEuler = targetRotation.eulerAngles;

        // Apply only y-axis rotation
        Quaternion newRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, targetEuler.y, 0);

        // Rotate the player smoothly towards the target direction
        player.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(player.rotation, newRotation, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}
