quaternion

How i extract pitch from quaternion?

i tried

float pitch = math.degrees(math.asin(2.0f * ((q.y * q.w) - (q.x * q.z))));

but it gives results between -90 and 90

not 0-360

Pitch is actually supposed to between -90 to 90
Because if it exceeds that range it can be represented with 180 degree rotated Yaw

As in (120, 0, 0) is same as (60, 180, 180)

Do you know how do i combine it to get 0 to 360?

My game is topdown and i need only pitch rotation

I want to send it over network and i don`t need to send a full quaternion but only pitch

what i need is Y of euler angles

you can just convert from euler

How do i convert from euler?

I don`t have euler but a quaternion.

[simple compass]

I mean, store your rotation as float

but apply rotation to object through conversion

[random oasis]

the rotation comes from Rival character controller

ah

maybe this can help?

if i can reimplement it using the math library

there is a toEuler in Physics.Math that looks like this:

Sorry maybe that doesn't answer the question.
