Hello i wanted to know how to rotate smoothly an object toward position.

I use "Set Angle to Mouse.X, Mouse.Y" to rotate my player in a top down game

I tried with lerp(Mouse.X, Mouse.Y, 0.01) but it doesnt work it rotate weirdly...

Can someone explain me how to do it, Thanks!

Try using the tween behavior.

For physics, you can apply a force to an image point which is off center to cause rotation.

For it to stay in place, you might need a second image point exactly opposite from the origin to apply an equal and opposite force too. You can also create a revolute joint on an immovable helper object to pin it in place.

Edit: reminder not to mix physics with other movement to avoid issues.

Use Anglelerp to lerp things that rotates.
