How I can make the ship rotate to the direction of the movement?

I am new to this engine, and it probably is a very basic answer, but I don't really get GDScript yet.

I used one of the templates as base

Add this

  rotation = lerp_angle(rotation, velocity.angle(), 0.1)

It should rotate slowly but I believe the result will be wrong due to your setup. In godot 0 degree is facing right

Oh

I added it and rotated the entire object 90 degrees, and it's working

The only thing being that once I stop pressing keys, the ship goes back to being 90 degrees again

This is my code rn

@bleak raptor If the velocity vector is zero, then velocity.angle() can't be relied upon to give any sensible answer at all. It seems like what you really want to do is change the rotation only when the ship is moving (so velocity is not zero) not when it is standing still.

Yes! Thank you!
