Check if a value comes between two rotation values-CodePudding

I am trying to check if my object's z rotation value comes between two given values. As shown below, the value to check is between -1 and 1. When my object is in negative such as -0.5, it is never called. Works perfect for positive values above 0, but is never called when it is under 0.

void Update () {
   if (transform.eulerAngles.z <= 1 && transform.eulerAngles.z >= -1) {
            Debug.Log ("object is in between");
        }
}

Okay so I found the problem, when I added a Debug.Log (transform.eulerAngles.z); The values lesser than 0, starts from 360 instead of printing negative values. How do I fix it?

CodePudding user response：

Since Euler Angles in Unity work this way (less than 0 is basically less than 360), I changed my code as:

if ((transform.eulerAngles.z >= 0 && transform.eulerAngles.z <= 1f) || (transform.eulerAngles.z >= 358f && transform.eulerAngles.z <= 360f)) {
            Debug.Log("object is in between");
        }

Easier in my eyes would be to not think in rotation angles at all.

An equal way to make your check rather simply vector based would be checking if the Vector3.Angle between the global Vector3.up vector and your local transform.up is within your threshold

if(Vector3.Angle(Vector3.up, transform.up) <= 1f)
{
    Debug.Log ("object is in between");
}
