side-scroller

Ive been working over a sidescroller shooter game. Ive got my sidescroller shooter character to look around with these :

chest.LookAt(mousepos,Vector3.right);

&

chest.LookAt(mousepos,Vector3.left);

(Left when the character is turned to the left and right when the character is turned to the right)

so it wont aim in to any other axis... But when the mouse gets to cross the middle of the character and not around it it gets the rotation to make a small transportation between frames and it wont get all the way to there.. It'll just teleport to its correct rotation like lookat should.

Well the question is, how do I get any quaternion slerp which works with a Time.deltTime to work as same as LookAt(,Vector3.right)? I must have the Vector3.right and left so it'll move trough 1 axis.

Many thanks to anyone who helps me out. :)

Do I need to store a generic rotation point/radius for rotating around a point other than the origin for object transforms?

I'm having trouble implementing a non-origin point rotation. I have a class Transform that stores each component separately in three 3D vectors for position, scale, and rotation. This is fine for local rotations based on the center of the object. The issue is how do I determine/concatenate non-origin… >>> More
