transform.rotation gives me headache

[Pelleyoo]

Hello

Im working with an Adventure game like Grim fandango. Currently im working on
this script;

when you get close to an interactive obejct, the characters head will look at
the object with its head. If you rotate the body too much, the head will spin
back to its original rotation relative to the body (it has to be realistic you
know ;P) Everyone who's played Grim Fandango will know what I mean.

THe script is working perfectly. But not everywhere. If the characters Y
position in the world is bigger then the object he'll be looking at's Y
position, then things will get nasty. Nothing seems to work anymore. And now
i've realized what the problem is; if the characters rotation.z gets higher
then 180 then it will switch to -180 and the other way around and the script is
constructed like this "If body.transform.rotation.z - V1 > 100 or < 100 then"
where V1 is the angle the head should rotate to point at the object.

so, is there any way I could..."reset" the characters transform.rotation.z
when hes Y position gets bigger then the objects Y position? Or do you have any
other solutions for my problem?

cheers

Setting the rotation around the y-axis is not recommended. Instead, you should use the .rotate() method, which rotates the given model a given angle. Or in your case, you could try using pointAt().
