Rotating a layer

This is probably fairly basic but maybe I've been trying to do this for too long.

I'm trying to do a simple effect really. When I left click with the mouse I want a specific layer to rotate smoothly to -30 degrees.

Using lerp this is what I got:

Set layer 0 angle to lerp(layerangle(0),-30,0.5*dt)

Now that works...kinda, but when I click it only rotates in small increments, it doesn't completely rotate in one smooth motion to -30 degrees. I have to keep clicking repeatedly.

Tried doing this with other layer effects as well like scale and position, same deal.

Oddly enough, if I use an on mouse button down instead of just clicking it works fine (well, it repeats endlessly but it works).

try anglelerp ! Maybe ?

What Whiteclaws said, but also it's only going in small increments because the event is only running for a single tick .. the tick of which you click the mouse button.

What you'll need is another variable, call it "TargetAngle" or something

+On click

     -> set TargetAngle to -30

+Compare two values: LayerAngle(0) is not equal to TargetAngle

     +Compare two values: is anglediff(LayerAngle(0),TargetAngle) Greater than 1

              ?->set LayerAngle(0) to Anglelerp(LayerAngle(0) , TargetAngle , dt*0.5)

     +Compare two values: is anglediff(LayerAngle(0) , TargetAngle) Less or equal to 1

              ?->set LayerAngle(0) to TargetAngle

The reason for the last event is so it stops the lerping once it's too close to really recognise the change.
