public static float Angle(Vector3 from, Vector3 to);

Parameters

from The angle extends round from this vector.

The angle returned is always the non reflex angle between the two vectors - ie the smaller of the two possible angles between them and never greater than 180 degrees.

using UnityEngine;

public class AngleExample : MonoBehaviour { public Transform target;

// prints "close" if the z-axis of this transform looks // almost towards the target

void Update () { Vector3 targetDir = target.position - transform.position; float angle = Vector3.Angle( targetDir, transform.forward );

if( angle < 5.0f ) print( "close" ); } }
