Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a bug but this is weird and I can't explain why it happens.

So I have following code:

Now to get the Angle of vLookDir I used the function:
but the result did not work.

Then I tried

And it works fine.

Results:
   

Hi,

At first glance, you're getting the angle between two xz coordinates. At the end, you're getting an angle between X and Y.

Was that intended or a typo?

That's intended

If you're going to pass 2 params instead of 1, according to the documentation, you should first pass x and then y. The fact that you first pass y and then x, makes me think you construct your lookdir vector incorrectly.

Since it's a look direction, make sure you do

and not the other way around.

Code:

lookdir = posToLookAt - myPos

and not the other way around.

I already do that.
My code is working fine in my game (client and server-side)

Here you can see:
Look1 - correct
Look2 & Look3 is wrong

   

There's no bug.
You're just expecting different results.
