    I have 4 animations, turning left or right 90 degrees and 180 degrees. I have a nav mesh agent and a position in world space I want to set their destination to. How do I calculate which animation to use, according to how much the agent would have to turn to face the target?

    Code (csharp):
    1. Vector3 toTarget = destination - agent.transform.position;
    2. toTarget.y = 0;
    3.  
    4. var angle = Vector3.Angle(agent.transform.forward, toTarget)

    This works great except I can't distinguish whether or not to the agent is turning right or left

    I used SignedAngle instead of Angle with the agents transform.up as the axis and it viola, it works perfectly now. Thank you!
