How do I compare the angle between two objects?

Hi,

I want to apply seperate actions for different intervalls of the angle between player and enemy; 4 quadrants for the total circle of 360 degrees.

In the code I have used the condition "is between two values" for each quadrant and written "angle(Sprite1.X,Sprite1.Y,Sprite2.X,Sprite2.Y)".

The angle values I have set to the following:

Quadrant 1: first angle 315, second angle 45

Quadrant 2: first angle 45, second angle 135

Quadrant 3: first angle 135, second angle 225

Quadrant 4: first angle 225, second angle 315

However, this does not yield satisfying results, the desired actions will not take place when the angle between player and enemy is within these angle intervals. Maybe the first and second angles I have assigned are the wrong values?

You should subtract one from the second angle of each condition. This is because the range of one ends at the same angle that another one starts at, so both actions will trigger at the same time.

Quadrant 1: first angle 315, second angle 44 <-

Quadrant 2: first angle 45, second angle 134 <-

Quadrant 3: first angle 135, second angle 224 <-

Quadrant 4: first angle 225, second angle 314 <-

Also make sure you put the objects in the right order in the angle() expression. In your example its using Sprite1 as the center point rotating towards Sprite2. If you intend for Sprite2 to be the center point then the angles you are getting from "angle(Sprite1.X,Sprite1.Y,Sprite2.X,Sprite2.Y)" are going to be inverted, and it should instead be "angle(Sprite2.2,Sprite2.Y,Sprite1.X,Sprite1.Y)". :)

Thanks for the inputs BaconSwagg and R0J0hound, I feel I know how to handle this problem now.
