Need basic help with if statement.

Unity Engine

Hey guys,

Im making a basic flying game. There is a relative force pushing the plane forward and i want to steer the plane with my mouse.

I have found a code and it works but feels very awkward. I wanted to invert the controlls once the plane is at a z rotation of 90 degrees so that it hopefully feels more intuative.

I am very new to coding, 2 days in, and I dont know how to fix my code so it runs

the part in question is as follows (red is the part with the error):

//senstivity multiplier

public float Sens = 2.00f;

// Locate Z rotation. If Z rotation is between 90 and -90 then use non-inverted control as follows

if (transform.localEulerAngles.z (< 90 && > -90));
{

//non-inverted control

transform.Rotate(Input.GetAxis(“Mouse Y”) * Sens , 00.0f, -Input.GetAxis(“Mouse X”) * Sens );
}

//otherwise, invert the control

transform.Rotate(Input.GetAxis(“Mouse X”) * Sens , 00.0f, Input.GetAxis(“Mouse Y”) * Sens );

Not sure why its wrong or how to fix it, any help appreciated!

You always have to check variables condition for condition, even if you check the same variable twice.

//Locate Z rotation. If Z rotation is between 90 and -90 then use non-inverted control as follows
if (transform.localEulerAngles.z < 90 && transform.localEulerAngles.z > -90)
{
     //code for non-inverted control
}
//Otherwise use inverted controls
else
{
    //code for inverted control
}

Thanks alot! code is running but result is very glitched though :frowning:

Ok so the issue is it works when turning left (z rotation is positive) but as soon as the player has a -z rotation it instantly inverts despite not meeting the invert requirement (z < -90)

any ideas how I can fix this?

Sorry for the late reply, i went to bed haha

That’s because the angles never actually are below 0, they are always between 0 and 360, the unity editor just shows it as if they were below 0.
So instead of

transform.localEulerAngles.z > -90

you’d have to check for

transform.localEulerAngles.z > 270
