Vector3.RotateTowards half way ?

Hi guys!

Is it possible to use the function Vector3.RotateTowards to return a rotation direction that is half way between the full rotation result ?

I'm using this function to achieve a good result Quaternion.AngleAxis( degrees, Vector3.forward ).
Hopefully this picture explains exactly what I'm trying to achieve:
Black line represents the AI's moving direction.
Scenario A - AI should rotate towards the red line ( in this case the degrees will be positive )

Scenario B - AI should rotate towards the red line ( in this case the degrees will be negative )



I've tried to negate the degrees depending on the x direction of the AI's moving direction ( which is the black line ) but this doesn't always give the correct result as sometimes the AI will rotate away from the target.

The only function I can think of that actually works quite well is Vector3.RotateTowards, but I would rather I could specifically state how much in degrees it should rotate rather than a full rotation.

Hope anyone can help me with this problem .

 

Yeah, you just need to know how far you want the RotateTowards to go. I think you can use Vector3.Angle to work that out. Keep in mind that Vector3.Angle takes a direction vector, not a position vector.

 

Thanks for the reply, I tried your answer and no matter what value I pass into the RotateTowards function I always get a direction pointing directly at the target.

Just to make sure I'm not entering anything wrong here's what I'm passing in
Vector3 newDirection = Vector3.RotateTowards(movingDirection, targetDirection, degrees, 0f );

No matter what value I pass into the degrees parameter I always get a rotation facing the target ?

 

Without knowing the actual values I really have no idea what's going on there. All that shows me is their names.

 

Ah sorry about that,

Vector3.RotateTowards(movingDirection, targetDirection, degrees, 0f )
movingDirection is the black line the direction the AI is moving
targetDirection is the direction from the AI to the target
degrees is the amount I want to turn ( eg 45 )

If that makes things a lot clearer, I read the documentation and passed in positions by just creating a temporary value which stores the hit point of the black line to the blue wall, and for the target position by using the targetDirection * (distance between AI and point it hit on the wall )
