Smooth rotation of object with gamepad stick.

Questions & Answers
1

My current script rotates a part of the player. However the rotation is very choppy and instant. This is especially bad when using an analog stick for control, as it seems to be pretty on/off in it’s movement. How would I go about smoothing the movement, so that it would be less choppy on both keyboard and gamepad controls, and take into account the degree to which the analog stick is tilted?

 public float speed = 6f;
    private float minRot = -0.35f;
    private float maxRot = .35f;

    public float rotation;


 
    void Update()
    {
        if  (Input.GetAxisRaw("Aim") < 0)
        {
            rotation += speed * 0.1f * Time.deltaTime;
        }

        if  (Input.GetAxisRaw("Aim") > 0)
        {
            rotation -= speed * 0.1f * Time.deltaTime;
        }


            rotation = Mathf.Clamp(rotation, minRot, maxRot);
            Quaternion rot = transform.localRotation;
            rot.z = rotation;

            transform.localRotation = rot;
    }

You are most of the way there. The trick is to just directly use Input.GetAxisRaw to multiply the rotation by, as this will actually give you a larger or bigger value based on how far you moved the joystick:

void Update()
     {
             rotation -= Input.GetAxisRaw("Aim") * speed * 0.1f * Time.deltaTime;
 
             rotation = Mathf.Clamp(rotation, minRot, maxRot);
             Quaternion rot = transform.localRotation;
             rot.z = rotation;
 
             transform.localRotation = rot;
     }

Note that you will likely need to adjust your speed value to compensate.

As a side note I would say that it is redundant to multiply both by speed, and by the fixed value of 0.1f:

rotation += Input.GetAxisRaw("Aim") * speed * 0.1f * Time.deltaTime;

Personally I would remove the 0.1f and just set your value for speed lower:

//at the top:
public float speed = 0.6f;
//in update:
rotation += Input.GetAxisRaw("Aim") * speed * Time.deltaTime;
