Deriving and angle from two points

Questions & Answers
1

So I need to derive an angle from two points in 2D space.

I have tried this:

Vector2.Angle(p1,p2);

But it doesn’t actually give me an angle, it gives a directional vector I think. There must be a simple answer right? my search has turned up allot of confusing information that doesn’t seem to directly answer my problem.
Perhaps the question is how you’d convert a directional vector to an angle.

Regardless, I’m stuck. Any insight would be appreciated.

Alright, this was pretty simple…

to get the angle all i needed was this line:

var angle : float = Mathf.Atan2(p2.y-p1.y, p2.x-p1.x)*180 / Mathf.PI;
