I need a function that converts a isometric direction (from a unity isometric tilemap) to a normal one. For example in this image I created waypoints along the track (red line) they dont attach to the tilemap but float above it using linerenderer

so using this

Vector3 targetPosition = trackPositions[currentWaypointIndex];

// Move the locomotive towards the target waypoint
transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPosition, Mathf.Abs(speed) * Time.deltaTime);

// Calculate the direction to the next waypoint
Vector3 direction = (targetPosition - transform.position).normalized;

I get a direction

I then want to use that to put the train sprite on the track (its actually 36 images) and I need a normal direction in degrees /10 to set the correct image..

EDIT: after using shingo's class this is what I got:

and its not perfect but closer than anything I got so far so I will try to adjust that function .. luck is my only hope at this point..

EDIT2: shingo's solution worked when making this adjustment

public static float YFactor = Mathf.Cos(Mathf.Deg2Rad * 60);

(changed it from 45 to 60) also there was a small bug where it was missing the type (float)
