Starting a game object with a random direction.

What I wanted was to have an object Start (eventually instantiated or pooled) with a random Y direction. I have this working properly in my scene but I feel like I strong-armed this solution multiplying the Deg2Rad by 10k.
Is that going to bite me in the ass later on?

 

Well... I just realized my own mistake. eulerAngles does all the dirty work.

Code (CSharp):

1.     public float deg;
2.     public float speed;
3.     public float startRot;
4.  
5.     private float rad;
6.     private float yRotation;
7.  
8.     void Awake(){
9.         RotRandom ();
10.     }
11.  
12.     void RotRandom(){
13.         startRot = Random.Range (0, 360);
14.     }
15.  
16.     void TurningRad() {
17. //        yRotation = startRot * Mathf.Deg2Rad * 10000;
18.         yRotation = startRot;
19.  
20.         transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3 (0, yRotation, 0);
21.     }
22.  
23.     void Update(){
24.         TurningRad ();
25.         transform.Translate (Vector3.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime);
26.     }

 

eulerAngles is an acceptable solution in this particular situation, but be careful using it elsewhere - especially getting the value out of it, in which case Euler angles are just plain useless.
