Convert directions in Vector3 to yaw/pitch/(roll),Converting directions in Vector3d to yaw/pitch/(roll)
I'm trying to implement a AI ship in a space flight simulator. Basically the AI ship attempts to shoot at the player's ship by moving towards the expected position of the player's ship. My code so far is:
private void chaseTarget(Transform target)
{
// calculate expected position of target
Vector3 pos = target.position;
Vector3 vel = target.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity;
float dist = Vector3.Distance(this.transform.position, target.position);
float leadTime = dist / gunspeed;
Vector3 expectedPOS = pos + leadTime * vel;
// calculating heading to target
Vector3 heading = expectedPOS - this.transform.position;
...
Basically I calculate the player's ship's expected position, and i want to point this ship(ai one) towards that position. The direction is represented by the Vector3 but I need to convert this to yaw/pitch and maybe roll.
How do you implement this? I've tried converting the Vector3 to a Quaterion and then using formulas from wikipedia to break it down into yaw/pitch but it is not working ,
