Find the difference between two vectors or angles, or not?

Hi, I have a hard time finding just the right code for what I need, a turn increment for the animator property.

The increment should go from about -1 to 1, calculating the difference of what really? I guess it's the difference between two angles, the one the character is right now, and the one he is looking at/going to move at, but what I currently have doesn't work. Unity's standard third person character uses this technique, but the character moves differently.

Check the snippet below:

Code (CSharp):

1. //What is h and v
2. Vector3 h = mainCam.right * horizontal;
3. Vector3 v = mainCam.forward * vertical;
4.  
5. //The player's movement
6. rb.AddForce((h + v).normalized * speed);
7.  
8. //What the dir is
9. storeDirection = transform.position + h + v;
10. dir = storeDirection - transform.position;
11.  
12. //*THE PROBLEM*
13. float turnInc = Mathf.Atan2(dir.x, dir.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

Please, my head is gonna break!

Thank you for your time

 

Finally fixed it! For all of you out there trying to find a turn increment, here's the solution:

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector3 forwardA = transform.rotation * Vector3.forward;
2.             Vector3 forwardB = Quaternion.LookRotation(dir) * Vector3.forward;
3.            
4.             float angleA = Mathf.Atan2(forwardA.x, forwardA.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
5.             float angleB = Mathf.Atan2(forwardB.x, forwardB.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
6.            
7.             turnAngle = Mathf.DeltaAngle(angleA, angleB);
8.            
9.             anim.SetFloat("Angle", turnAngle * Mathf.Deg2Rad, 0.1f, Time.deltaTime);

Thank you anyways!
