Get the direction of an AI Character
How can I get the direction of a moving GO? If I use the Input, I will get values between -1 and 1 for Side and Forward. But how can I get those values of an AI? If I use the last position and current position and divide it by Time.deltatime, I get awful values... for example if my AI goes constantly right, I get a list of values like this: 0.13514, 0.41245, 0.63456, -0.14833 and so on... All I want is to get values between -1 and 1 and to be constant, not like those above.
Wouldn't just calling transform.forward on your moving GO give you the vector it is facing?
gameObject.transform.forward will return the Vector3 normalized direction. If you're only rotating around the y axis, then only the x and z values will be populated, which you can use sin and cosine to calculate an angle if you like.
you don't need to call gameObject.transform :) transform is accessible directly
