I’m trying to have my character rotate 180 degrees (or some arbitrary angle) smoothly and I’m using a timeline and a rotator lerp. It’s lerping from actor rotation to control rotation
The problem is that because the delta continuously gets smaller, the lerp reaches its target at an exponential rate.
I thought I could solve this by setting the actor rotation as a variable before the timeline and lerping from that, but that doesn’t work out well because I need to use shortest path on the lerp (to avoid loops). Since the actor rotation is static, if I alter the control rotation too much, it’s reinterpreting what the shortest path is and basically doing an instant 180.
Instant 180 in your case might result from using Play on the timeline instead of Play From Start, if I got it right.
The only problem in this case is it always takes the same amount of time to turn, no matter if it’s 180 or 5 degrees. If you want a steady turn rate you’ll have to calculate the angle to turn and set the timeline play rate respectively.
Hope this helps.
