2020.1.60.3 Rotary Encoder

Overview

The Rotary Encoder is a component that simulates a physical encoder.

The Rotary Encoder can be found under Standard Components > Rotary Encoder > Add Physical Component

It will automatically be attached to a selected GameObject. Otherwise it will create a new GameObject to attach to.

A Wheel Joint will be created automatically as part of the component.
