Forward angles

Question

Hello guys, I need your help. So I have a problem with checking the angles from the forward of the character. Player rotates his torso and after certain angle it should update it's forward(update feet) and check for angles again. Hope you will understand.Maybe the picture will explain it better. alt text

You can do something like this. Keep in mind that this is not tested, but it should provide you a starting point.

 void TurnToMouse(Transform head, Transform feet, Vector3 mouseWorldPosition, float angleLimit, bool flatten)
         {
             Vector3 headForward = head.forward;
             Vector3 directionToMouse = mouseWorldPosition - head.position;
 
             //flattens to x,z plane this is assuming you do not want the feet to turn. 
             if (flatten)
             {
                 directionToMouse.y = 0;
                 headForward.y = 0;
             }
 
             if(Vector3.Angle(headForward, directionToMouse)>angleLimit)
             {
                 feet.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(directionToMouse);
             }
         }

There is something off with angle check
