Custom Character Controller Turning Speed: How?

I’m making a custom character controller for my game; and I’ve had an issue with it for a while: the player turns very slowly, it makes the player feel slippery and painful to control.

I remember a post I made a while back – I was still figuring how to make a controller – and someone suggested the idea to make a variable that controls the player’s turning speed, I’m wondering on how I would do that.

Here’s my code, any further questions are welcome!

local function moveToward(current, target, maxDelta)
	local delta = target - current
	local distance = delta.Magnitude

	if distance <= maxDelta or distance == 0 then
		return target
	end

	return current + delta.Unit * maxDelta
end

function player:MoveAndSlide()
	
	local co = coroutine.create(function()
		self:ChangeMoveDirection()
	end)
	coroutine.resume(co)
	
	rs.RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt)
		local acceleration = self.acceleration or 80
		local deceleration = self.decceleration or 30
		local velocity = self.hrp.AssemblyLinearVelocity
		local currentVelocity = velocity 
		
		if self.grounded == false or self.state == 3 then
			
			self.normal = Vector3.zero
			self.air_Drag = 0
			acceleration = self.air_Accel
			deceleration = 20
			velocity = Vector3.new(self.hrp.AssemblyLinearVelocity.X, 0, self.hrp.AssemblyLinearVelocity.Z)
			currentVelocity =  Vector3.new(velocity.X, self.hrp.AssemblyLinearVelocity.Y, velocity.Z) 
		else
			self.air_Drag = 1
		end
		
		local maxSpeed = self.current_Speed
		local moveDir = self.move_Direction
		--moveDir = vect.projectOnPlane(moveDir, self.normal)
		local targetVelocity = Vector3.zero

		if moveDir.Magnitude > 0.001 then
			targetVelocity = (moveDir.Unit * maxSpeed) * Vector3.new(1, self.air_Drag, 1)
			if self.state == 1 then
				self.state = 2
			end
			moveToward(currentVelocity, targetVelocity, acceleration * dt)
		else
			if self.state == 2 then
				self.state = 1
			end
			currentVelocity = moveToward(currentVelocity, Vector3.new(0, self.hrp.AssemblyLinearVelocity.Y, 0), deceleration * dt)
		end
		
		if self.grounded == false or self.state == 3 then
			currentVelocity =  Vector3.new(
				currentVelocity.X,
				self.hrp.AssemblyLinearVelocity.Y,
				currentVelocity.Z
			)
		end
		self.hrp.AssemblyLinearVelocity = currentVelocity

	end)
end

To get an idea on how bad the turning is, go into studio and set the baseplate’s friction to 0 and set its weight to 100. That’s how bad it is.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
