I am trying to get my character to rotate in the direction that the analog stick is moved without it snapping back to the upwards position when it is no longer used.  
I have tried using these two approaches and neither seem to work how I want them to

Hi,  
I think I’m trying to do the same thing and I’m pretty sure I figured it out. Here’s the link to my post about it. I’m sure there’s some micro problems with it, but none that seem practical to happen from my small testing.

Any other value isn’t a full stick pull. I initially wanted to try this, but thought it’d be too easy an answer, so I never solely tried it. bool isFullStickPull = currentInput.X \> 0.49 || currentInput.X \< -0.49 || currentInput.Y \> 0.49 || currentInput.Y \< -0.49; if(isFullStickPull) { PreviousInput = currentInput; } I…
