PlugQuaternion Bug

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,
PlugQuaternion doesn't work properly with finding Shortest rotation.
I just made a patch. Hope this will be on next release. 
thanks.

Thanks amugana for patching it. Before applying the patch though, could you 
send me an example of a case where HOTween fails to apply the shortest 
rotation? I can't replicate it here, and I want to be sure we have the same 
thing in mind :)

i just checked the case.

When relative is 'on' rotation from '0' to '270' runs whole 270 degree

HOTween.To( transform, 0.5f, new TweenParms().Prop("localRotation", 
Quaternion.Euler(0,0,-90), true));

I see. Then everything is correct, actually. Quaternions can't be negative, so 
converting 0,0,-90 to a Quaternion actually creates a Quaternion of 0,0,270 
(you can see it if you Log Quaternion.Euler(0,0,-90).eulerAngles), which in 
case of a relative rotation tween, correctly rotates the object by 270 degrees.

You can instead directly use Vector3 values for rotation tweens, like:
HOTween.To( transform, 0.5f, new TweenParms().Prop("localRotation", new 
Vector3(0,0,-90), true));
which will correctly rotate your object by 90 degrees.

Thanks to you. Even if in the end we found this issue was not an issue, I 
appreciated enormously that you included a patch :)
