Hi Guys

Think "SetObjectLookAt()" but instead of immediately pointing at the co-ords I want my object to gradually turn towards the point by a set amount, I have absolutely no idea where to start, any pointers?

Instead of using that command

Maybe perhaps get the "look at" object position with

X# = getobjectx
Y# = getobjecty
Z# = getobjectz

and the cameras angle

camx# = getobjectanglex
camy# = getobjectangley
camz# = getobjectanglez

and use AtanFull to get a new angle or maybe lerp these together by a .1 or something


Unless there is an amazing command that does it all..
Thats how i would try it, putting it into code could be a little challenge, so i will have a go later

How about the use of a Lerp function?

I think you could do that with a tween but easing will work.
So you have two points. Where you are and where you want to be

are.x, are.y, are.z
be.x, be.y, be.z

are.x = are.x + (be.x - are.x) * ease
are.y = are.y + (be.y - are.y) * ease
are.z = are.z + (be.z - are.z) * ease

ease if the amount of easing you want so 1 will move there immediately, 0.1=fairly slowly .9=quickly

If you have a look in the code i posted for the kart thing it does that with the camera.
