How to rotate a physics object until it is "looking" at a location

I’ve been going around in circles trying to figure this one out

Welcome to my life. Have a look here:

How to counter angular momentum with torque

I’m trying to apply torque in such a way that the rotating cube (forward red arrow) arrives at the target (pink) and has its rotation completely arrested, without overshooting too much or excessive oscillations. I’m applying constant torque. As we build up angular velocity, at some point we must start producing counter-torque in order to slow down and come to a full stop. [image] How do I detect that moment? What’s the math behind it? I feel I need to take advantage of the Inertia Tensor h…

See if the above is useful at all. It depends on what level or precision is needed and how physically accurate we need to be. Do check @pezzott1’s post there as well. It’s a totally different approach that may as well work great for you.
