Struggling to understand SmoothDamp

Might as well show the whole code if youre having problems

Yup, i fixed the prior issue so It compiles without error

NOW my character doesnt move at all, and turning isnt smoothed kekeke, I suspect Ive done something wrong aha

One sec

I think I have an idea what it might be, will update

Ill be frankly honest, not sure what in my code rotates the player model

Code too long to paste RIP

 private void MovePlayer()
    {
        // calculate movement direction
        moveDirection = orientation.forward * verticalInput + orientation.right * horizontalInput;

        moveDir = Vector3.SmoothDamp(moveDir, moveDirection, ref moveDirRef, smoothDuration);

        // on slope
        if (OnSlope() && !exitingSlope)
        {
            rb.AddForce(GetSlopeMoveDirection() * moveSpeed * 20f, ForceMode.Force);

            if (rb.velocity.y > 0)
                rb.AddForce(Vector3.down * 80f, ForceMode.Force);
        }

        // on ground
        else if(grounded)
            rb.AddForce(moveDir.normalized * moveSpeed * 10f, ForceMode.Force);

        // in air
        else if(!grounded)
            rb.AddForce(moveDirection.normalized * moveSpeed * 10f * airMultiplier, ForceMode.Force);

        // turn gravity off while on slope
        rb.useGravity = !OnSlope();
    }

This ius the movement script

Some of this is borrowed, some of this is custom

Actually most of this partis borrowed

Well first of all, having variables named moveDir and moveDirection is just confusing

Maybe use something like moveDirSmoothed and moveDirTarget

You are still normalizing the vector too. That will negate any smoothing

If the problem is related to rotation, nothing here does it

I found the issue

the character model turning is actually in my camera script LEL
