Getting rotation degrees for if statement

Hi,

I'm trying to make a method that takes care of ending the game when my character rotates more then 70 degrees in plus and minus on the X axis. I'm using the following code. But the code get's instantly activated as soon as i jump with the character.

Anyone a suggestion on doing this the proper way?

Code (CSharp):

1.     void FixedUpdate ()
2.     {
3.         EndGameOnDegrees ();
4.     }
5.  
6.  
7. //End the game if the player gets stuck opsidedown for certain amount of seconds
8.     public void EndGameOnDegrees ()
9.     {
10.         float min = -70f;
11.         float max = 70;
12.         float time = Time.deltaTime;
13.  
14.  
15.         if (transform.rotation.eulerAngles.x < min || transform.rotation.eulerAngles.x > max && time > 4f) {
16.  
17.             Debug.Log ("More or less then 70 degrees on X axis");
18.  
19.             if (GameOverManager.instance != null) {
20.  
21.                 GameOverManager.instance.GameOverShowpanel ();
22.             }
23.  

 

rotations can be a little tricky as there are many combinations of the 3 euler angle components that can represent a given quaternion. You might want to look into something like Vector3.Angle (esp. if you always want the min/max to be symmetrical).

Also, be careful with combining AND and OR, I suspect you mean

( ( a || b ) && t > 4f)

on line 15 rather than what you've written which evaluates to

( a || ( b && t > 4f) )

 

I changed the method to the following, so far it seems to work. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Code (CSharp):

1.  public void EndGameOnDegrees ()
2.     {
3.         float min = -70f;
4.         float max = 70;
5.         float time = Time.deltaTime;
6.         float angle = Vector3.Angle(Vector3.up, transform.up);
7.  
8.  
9.         if ((angle < min || angle > max) && time > 4f) {
10.  
11.  
12.             Debug.Log ("More or less then 70 degrees on X axis");
13.  
14.             if (GameOverManager.instance != null) {
15.  
16.                 GameOverManager.instance.GameOverShowpanel ();
17.             }
