Get Signed Angle To Target

[pedroathumanspot]

Hi!

Here's a custom action I coded thats a variation of the Get Angle To Target action but stores Signed Angle to know if the Target is right (positive) or left (negative) from the GameObject's forward axis:

Code: [Select]

/ * Get Signed Angle to Target - Playmaker Custom Action
  * https://github.com/pedrosanta/PlaymakerActionsPack */

using UnityEngine;

namespace HutongGames.PlayMaker.Actions
{
[ActionCategory(ActionCategory.Transform)]
[Tooltip("Gets the signed Angle (in degrees, clockwise, -180 to 180) between a Game Object's forward axis and a Target. The Target can be defined as a Game Object or a world Position. If you specify both, then the Position will be used as a local offset from the Object's position.")]
public class GetSignedAngleToTarget : FsmStateAction
{
[RequiredField]
public FsmOwnerDefault gameObject;

public FsmGameObject targetObject;

public FsmVector3 targetPosition;

public FsmBool ignoreHeight;

[RequiredField]
[UIHint(UIHint.Variable)]
public FsmFloat storeAngle;

public bool everyFrame;

public override void Reset()
{
gameObject = null;
targetObject = null;
targetPosition = new FsmVector3 { UseVariable = true};
ignoreHeight = true;
storeAngle = null;
everyFrame = false;
}

public override void OnLateUpdate()
{
DoGetAngleToTarget();

if (!everyFrame)
{
Finish();
}
}

void DoGetAngleToTarget()
{
var go = Fsm.GetOwnerDefaultTarget(gameObject);
if (go == null)
{
return;
}

var goTarget = targetObject.Value;
if (goTarget == null && targetPosition.IsNone)
{
return;
}

Vector3 targetPos;
if (goTarget != null)
{
targetPos = !targetPosition.IsNone ?
goTarget.transform.TransformPoint(targetPosition.Value) :
goTarget.transform.position;
}
else
{
targetPos = targetPosition.Value;
}

if (ignoreHeight.Value)
{
targetPos.y = go.transform.position.y;
}

var localTarget = go.transform.InverseTransformPoint(targetPos);

// This will only work with vectors on XZ plane, so ignore height is irrelevant. Update description/etc asap.
storeAngle.Value = Mathf.Atan2(localTarget.x, localTarget.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
}

}
}

Additionally I am maintaining a custom actions repository on https://github.com/pedrosanta/PlaymakerActionsPack. Feel free to fork it away and collaborate.

Cheers.
