How do I detect if an object is rotating CW or CCW?

Is there such a function?

I believe Physics behavior has this, but I'm not using that. Basically I want a sprite to play different animations when it's rotating clockwise and counterclockwise (think a car where its front wheels turn to steer). A player-controlled sprite can do this easily by relying on player input, what's a simple way to reproduce the same for an AI-controlled sprite?

Caveat: AI uses "rotate towards position" action, so I don't have separate AI turns right/AI turns left actions I can stick this into.

May be this can help you with ideas

Simply store its angle at the last tick in an instance variable. If the current angle is clockwise of the last angle, it's rotating clockwise, otherwise anticlockwise (or not rotating).

Note if you rotate 270 degrees clockwise, that will count as 90 degrees anticlockwise.

Ashley, what did you meant under "at the last tick" ?

Aha, now I can do away with all the convoluted angle checks I was using. Thanks!
