Sprite as mouse dragging effect problems

I've been trying to make this cursor look like it's getting dragged to the mouse location. But I can't get the small details done properly

The idea is that moving the mouse drags the base of the cursor adjusting the angle and once the cursor arrives to the new location it starts to adjust again to the default orientation.

I got the movement and angle done but I'm having trouble about when to trigger the events for the idle orientation.

Also I would like the angle to be determine by the distance. As it is I delimited a range of degrees for the sprite to rotate, but moving on the same or close "Y" as the sprite will make the sprite to rotate to it's maximum range even if you only moved 1px on "X" so the chunky motion looks bad.

Here's the capx:

dop2000 Thanks for the help again. But I had already achieved this although throught less orthodox meanings but I learned a new trick from yor capx using dt on lerp.

What I wanted to achieve was an arc of degrees the cursor can't surpass

something like this:

I used clamp on my capx to achieve this, I'm trying to add the clamp into the anglelerp expression you did, but I must be doing something wrong because it's not working this time. I tried different combinations, but it always retrieve only 1 of the values so the cursor is always looking in 1 direction.

EDIT:

I got it done but I would appreciate if you checked it and told me if you see something funny going on. I rotated the sprite and compensated the expressions adding degrees manually (that's the only way I could make it work)
