How to rotate cube to 'tip' it?

[jess84]

I can't seem to work this out properly, after a couple of hours playing with HOTween actions and settings...

What I want to do, is tip over a cube - think of it as a dice being tipped from 6 being on top, to 3 being on top - and the dice has therefore moved one width position to the side.

This seems to be more tricky than I first thought. My pivot point of my cube is central, and my cubes are children of a containing empty gameobject. (this added together has foiled me so far).

Shouldn't this be simple?

I couldn't even set the value of my Rotation X to -90 with set property, as it would somehow set it to 180 and change one of the other axis' too!

*sigh*

Parent the cube to an empty game object (as you've done). Move the empty gameobject's locator gizmo (the 3 axis arrow thingy) to wherever you want the pivot point of the cube to be (its edge).

Rotate/itween/etc the parent object, and not the cube itself
