[SOLVED] Using raycasting to get the angle of a surface

How can I get the angle of a surface using raycasting?

Raycast result contains the entity from the collision test, the normal and the point of hiit. You can use a normal to find the angle. A dot product of 2 normalized vectors would give you what you want.

In the post below you can find an example project.

[SOLVED] Setting rotation by a vector

Here’s an example of setting the forward direction of an entity to look in the direction of the normal on the intersection point of a raycast: https://playcanvas.com/editor/scene/605466 This is from copying the lookAt code that I linked to earlier. [raycast-normal]
