A "Between" command.

Question

Yes I know it's a stupid question but ever since I only know LUA I'm not so good with Java...

Is there a between command? Something like this;

Function Update () {

if (eulerAngles "Between 10 and 175") eulerAngles = 10; if (eulerAngles "Between 350 and 175") eulerAngles = 350; }

As you can see I want a maximum and minimum angle on my object. I this is what I came up with. If you have an other answer, piece of script, please give it to me. Although I would like to know a way to use some kind of between command.

Oh and, please only post a script of which you are certain that it will work. I asked similar questions like this one before but I didn't get a straight or working answer out of one of those. So I just ask again.

For your particular example, Mathf.Min/Clamp will do the job.

As for the 'between' thing, it's just a matter of combining very simple tests:

if (eulerAngles >= 10 && eulerAngles <= 175)
      eulerAngles = 10;
if (eulerAngles >= 175 && eulerAngles <= 350)
      eulerAngles = 350;

Does this work?
eulerAngles is of type Vector3 and the reference says it is better to set them all at once:

transform.eulerAngles = Vector3(xRotation, yRotation, zRotation);

You should post this as a comment or a new question ins$$anonymous$$d of as an answer.

He don't used transform.eulerAngles. I guess he just created his own variable called eulerAngles. The name would be of course a bit confusing because if it's a single float the "s" at the end doesn't make much sense. If he really want's to access transform.eulerAngles that way it won't work. Oh and the reference suggested to not change eulerAngles directly at all. If you change one component or all doesn't change much. If you change it manually you have to take care about that you stay inside [0,360] or it will throw an exception. To setup a rotation with eulerangles use Quaternion.Euler
