How would I rotate an object away from movement direction to simulate top-heavy lag?

[BigMartin58]

I’m making a city builder game and I want my buildings to “lag” when moving them around.

Here is a diagram of my goal:

I have tried to use ‘find look at rotation’ but it makes the object rotate in all different ways. I know I need to ease the rotation, which I was trying to do but nothing I have tried actually gets the rotation angles correct.

Any suggestions?

Here’s a couple examples:

rotate and object on key pressed

It’s hard to imagine how you want it to work. I can think of several ways of making a drone controller. Are we even getting physics involved here or you want to fake the rotation? Try this, see if you like it: [image] You can do -45 to inverse it. Again, this is just a mere stub and more nuanced scrip is needed for a more plausible looking leaning. Multiplying the clamp by (or replacing it with) a curve may be enough. If you need a proper, realistic & physically simulated drone movement,…

It does not need to be a Pawn, but you will need obtain velocity and use it to derive direction.

Thank you so much! I added a float curve after the clamp to smooth it out and it’s perfect.
