how to read angels greater than 360 and less than 0

hello Unity Community,

I am working on a game where my player in on a hoverboard and "leans" into his turns, but I am also making his rotation equal to the normal of the surface he is on. Euler angles only go from 0 degrees to 360 degrees. For my code to work I need to be able to see relative angles .

The reason for this problem is that when the crossover happens ( 360 to 0) it causes some grief in conditions for my leaning. Is there a way to view angles as relative?

for example can I say:

maxleanangle + or - contacts[0].normal?

 

if(angle > 180) angle -= 360;

will give you angles in range -180/180

 

thank you very much!

 

Generic Vector3.Angle only gives you between 0 and 180.

You will need to do a Vector3.Dot to get if the object is on the left or right of the current object.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. angle = Vector3.Dot(Vector3.right, transform.InverseTransformPoint(target.position)) < 0 ? -angle : angle;
3.  

or something like that.
