Resolved Determing slope direction with DOTS physics

Hello, this should be pretty easy to figure out; however, for the life of me I cannot seem to get anything to work correctly.

Problem: I'm trying to adjust the angle of the treads of my robot player on a slope. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to determine if the slope is positive of negative depending on where the character is facing. (See Image)



My Current Solution: I am able to figure out the normal from the ground collider hit and the overall angle; however, I have no clue how to get a signed value nor do I know how to do this appropriately. Here are my two code blocks that I attempted to use to solve this issue:



Bottom line objective: I'd like to adjust the treads to match the ground slope.

Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

 

SOLUTION

Alright, I figured it out. I was using the wrong axis when I was determining the sign of the angle. Here is my code for future folks who may run into the same problem:

Code (CSharp):

1.     var normal = characterBody.GroundHit.Normal;
2.     var forward = MathUtilities.GetForwardFromRotation(rotation.Value);
3.     var projection = MathUtilities.ProjectOnPlane(forward, normal);
4.          
5.     var axis = MathUtilities.GetRightFromRotation(rotation.Value);
6.  
7.     var angle = MathHelpers.Angle(forward, projection);
8.     var angleSigned = MathHelpers.AngleSigned(forward, projection, axis);
9.  

Mind you, that you will need to create these helper functions (which the source code can be adapted from the

Vector3

class found on Untiy's GitHub repo.
