Problem with transform.rotation and if statement

[ez06]

I have a bunch of prefabs that either have a positive or negative rotation.z (from the values I read in the inspector)

But whenever I try to test the rotation.z in an if statement as such:

if (thePrefab.transform.rotation.z < 0) {
         //  do some code
}

… This if statement is never true for some reason.

I also tried with transform.eulerAngles.z, but it didn’t work either.

How can I make sure this if statement is true when prefabs whose rotation is shown as negative in the inspector?

Thanks in advance

First off, stick with transform.eulerAngles, transform.rotation will give you quaternions and quaternions are weird.

I just threw together a quick test. It’s because Unity will automatically convert negative angles into their positive counterpart. -90 degrees will become 270 degrees instead. Instead, if you want to check for negative rotation, why not ask if (transform.eulerAngles.z > 180)?
