I am working on a First-Person-EscapeRoom.
For that i am trying to figure out how i could create a more dynamically moving Lockpad or Valve.
Just like in this video. Where the player rotates it smoothly.

On which parts do you want help?
The mouse input is (x, y).
I want to translate it into rotation_input for the valve for example. And keeping it's orientation in mind.
So as a player i have make the mouse input intuivly based on how i am position to the valve.

You need polar coordinates to do this kind of conversion. I'm too bad at maths to explain it in clear way... But it able you to calculate angles if you have an origin point (in a plane/2d world) and a coordinate.
Here some explaination, examples are in javascript, but the math apply anywhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5wjXoFrau4
