Rotation limits on a moving object

Hi everyone,
In my 3D battleships game, I have a turret attached to the front and back of the ship, and need to prevent them from turning too far(see pic below).

This is a problem because the ship can also turn seperate of the turret and get a rotation in the thousands of degrees because it overruns the 360 degree numerical rotation value. Because of this, I can't compare the turret's rotation to the ship's rotation and limit it's rotation properly. My script is:
Code:

---

  
	vec_set(my.pan, your.pan);
	my.pan += heading;
	my.pan = max(my.pan, your.pan + 70);
	my.pan = min(my.pan, your.pan + 290);

---

How can i change this to account for the fact that the value for the ships pan may be far greater than 360 degrees?

Hi,

you can use ang for this.
Thus all your angles will be within the same range (-180 ... 180).

Thanks, fenriswolf, I didn't know about that before
