Question by rodude123 · Oct 22, 2017 at 10:30 AM · characterenemyturningtransform.lookat

How do I limit the angle of transform.lookat function

I have searched on google and the unity answers site and still haven't found a solution that works yet. I would like the head of my enemy character to only move -+90 degrees. So like a normal person. Now it just rotates 360 degrees and it is not natural. Is there any simple and safe way to do this. This is what I have already:

 public Transform head;
 //.... underneath is in an update function
 Vector3 playerPos = new Vector3(player.position.x, head.position.y, player.position.z);
 head.LookAt(playerPos);

If anyone could help that would be great thank you

@rodude123 Use: Vector3.Angle(A, B), where A and B are Vector3

//3D if(Vector3.Angle(A, B) >= -90 && Vector3.Angle(A, B) <= 90) { // code for head turning } // 2D float angle = Mathf.DeltaAngle(Mathf.Atan2(source.y, source.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg,Mathf.Atan2(target.y, target.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg);

Code is not tested I wrote it now, but you get the point :D

@dischargee Would I use Vector3.left and Vector3.forward for A and B for 90 degrees and Vector3.forward and Vector3.right for A and B for -90 degrees
