Rotate Entity with Mouse Movement

Hello guys, so, i have this above code where im trying to get an entity to rotate around its Y-axis when i move the mouse from side to side. It kinda works but the rotation is not smooth and the entity just jumps to rotation values instead of rotating to them smoothly. 

What am i doing wrong there? Thanks in advance for your time.

Your going to want to use lerp to handle smoothing out the angle differences.

 

function LerpNumber(p0, p1, a)
	a = math.min(a, 1)
	return p0 + ((p1 - p0) * a)
end

 

p0  is your new angle projection

p1 is the current angle of the entity

and a is the speed at which you want to move into that new projection angle.

The function will return the amount to change the entity angle.

So basically, rough example : 

self.entity:SetInput(LerpNumber(currentY, mx, .1), move, strafe)
