Angle lerp direction?

I'm trying to create a turret arm for player that turns with lerp depending on buttons pressed. My problem is that I don't know how to change the lerp's direction from clockwise to counter-clockwise. The turret arm should rotate from pointing forward (0) to pointing straight up (270).

The command I'm using is lerp(Player_Turretarm.Angle,270, 8*dt)

I tried making the angle 270 to -90 but it just made the arm rotate nonstop like crazy.

I think you want anglelerp. For example:

anglelerp(Self.Angle,TargetAngle,8*dt)[/code:25qrzfms]

^This will lerp from the turrets current angle to the target angle. The rotation is determined by the closest angle. So:

[code:25qrzfms]anglelerp(Self.Angle(is 0),170,8*dt)[/code:25qrzfms]

...will rotate clockwise, because that is the shortest distance. Whereas:
[code:25qrzfms]
anglelerp(Self.Angle(is 0),190,8*dt)[/code:25qrzfms]

...will rotate counterclockwise, for the same reason.

Oh, my. It's that simple. I've completely missed the anglelerp. Thanks for the help, this fixed my problem
