Well I would prefer learning enough to not need to come back too soon about the same issue
As a matter of learning, a motivating example is especially useful when you don't know what you don't know
And it seems like you don't even know where to start, because if you did know, you wouldn't be asking about it here

Yeah, I really don't

if you're seeing that the thing " doesn't go to its target, goes in circles, so on, so clearly I am doing things wrong here", my suspicion is that you're not correctly applying the rotation operation to your thing

You're going to have to provide a simplified example of something you're having trouble with, because there's no real explaining the whole thing

Can you share a snippet of where you're applying the rotation in your code

I deleted it all cause it didn't work and I didn't think I could fix it so I restarted at the base again, but I can explain where it breaks, if I try doing the Lerp (As I said) alone, just with the values, it works, but when I start writing more code to determine when I should do the lerp, it breaks, but the whole reason i'm here isn't really because it doesn't work, but because I need to learn more (I could sit here hours trying to fix it without asking for help, that's not what I'm here for)

I'm here to know how things actually function below the surface without getting into very complex details that my brain can't handle

there is nothing to know under the surface that isn't complex and unnecessary. Only the API is relevant, and if you don't have a specific part of that (ie. quaternion multiplication, AngleAxis, FromToRotation, etc) that you're having trouble with then there's no path forward to help

@topaz kite in this case, learning the API is the learning
