Lerping a clamped number resulting in spinning

NVM, feels like an XY problem:

( SOLVED ) How to force a Vector2 Orientation to face towards a Vector3?

This is a certified X/Y problem. I’ve figured out my issue however I’ve run into the Gimbal Lock issue, so i’ll be creating a new post. Here’s my code if anyone somehow has a similar issue. local function lerp(start, goal, alpha) return start + (goal - start) * alpha end local targetCFrame = CFrame.new(CAMERA.CFrame.Position, position) local newRot = Vector3.new(targetCFrame:ToOrientation()) / math.pi * 180 mouseXAngle = lerp(mouseXAngle, newRot.X, 0.05) mouseYAngle = lerp(mouseYAngle, newR…

Relooking at your GIF you just need to rotate the camera towards a target position, you can just use CFrame from axis angles for that.

local target = workspace.Rig.Head

local function AngleBetween(vectorA, vectorB)
	return math.acos(math.clamp(vectorA:Dot(vectorB), -1, 1))
end

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

while true do
	local dt = task.wait()
	local currentLookVector = camera.CFrame.LookVector
	local targetLookVector = (target.Position-camera.CFrame.Position).Unit
	
	local angleTowardsTarget = AngleBetween(currentLookVector, targetLookVector)
	
	local rotationAngleTowardsTarget = math.min(angleTowardsTarget, dt*1) --Rotate 1 radian per second towards target, or the minimum distance to complete goal (prevent overshoot)
	
	local axis = currentLookVector:Cross(targetLookVector)
	camera.CFrame = CFrame.fromAxisAngle(axis, rotationAngleTowardsTarget)*camera.CFrame
end
