Entity direction in deg: values changing when facing the same direction
Sun, 04/12/2020 - 19:04 (edited)

Hello,

Entity direction in deg. is behaving in a way I don't really understand.

I'm sending to entity text containing  the entity yaw in deg: when I'm facing West, it texts 90 as it should but when I'm doing a 360, it texts -270 instead of 90 as before.

Why is the value not always between 0 and 360 or between -180 and 180?

Is there something I'm missing?

Thank you very much

 

(I posted a few hours ago a question pretty much about the same subject but not exactly the same question. I'm basically broadening my previous question)

 

EDIT: I'm using modulo to keep the value between 0 and 360 but I'm still wondering why I have such strange values

Values aren’t always between…

Values aren’t always between 0 and 360 because, I think, when you turn, it only add or remove degrees without checking if the value is lower than 0 or higher than 360.
