Astras TurnMod rotates the player’s turn parent around their head position using RotateAround(headPos, Vector3.up, angle), giving you comfortable yaw rotation without physically moving your body. Two distinct modes are available: Smooth Turn, which applies a continuous angular velocity with optional lerp dampening, and Snap Turn, which fires a fixed-angle rotation on a single button press.

​
Turn Mode Selection

Toggle TM to enable the mod, then choose your mode:
SettingDescription
ST = falseSmooth Turn — continuous rotation while input is held
ST = trueSnap Turn — single fixed rotation on each button press

​
Smooth Turn Parameters

These parameters are only active when ST is false.
Type: float | Range: 30 – 900 °/sThe target angular velocity in degrees per second. When an input is held, the controller accumulates ±TurnSpeed as the target value (haii). Higher values spin you faster; 30 is a gentle glide while 900 is near-instant.
Type: float | Range: 0 – 5Controls how quickly the actual rotation velocity (TV) catches up to the target (haii) via a Lerp. The lerp speed itself is interpolated: at Smoothnes = 0 the lerp rate is 50 (very snappy), and at Smoothnes = 5 the rate is 2 (very gradual):
// If Smoothnes > 0.01:
TV = Lerp(TV, haii, Mathf.Lerp(50, 2, Smoothnes) * dt);
// Else (Smoothnes ≈ 0):
TV = haii;  // Instant, no easing
Set Smoothnes = 0 for an immediate, frame-accurate response. Raise it toward 5 for a cinematic deceleration curve when you release the input.

​
Snap Turn Parameters

These parameters are only active when ST is true.
Type: float | Range: 15 – 90°The number of degrees rotated per button press. Each press fires exactly one snap — holding the button does not repeat. Common VR-comfort values are 30°, 45°, and 60°. The direction is determined by which input you press (left turns negative, right turns positive).

​
How Rotation Is Applied

Both modes rotate around the player’s head rather than the world origin, keeping the camera pivot centred on the player: 
pivi.RotateAround(headPos, Vector3.up, TV * dt);   // Smooth Turn
pivi.RotateAround(headPos, Vector3.up, ±SnapAngle); // Snap Turn (rising edge only)
In Snap Turn mode the controller tracks the rising edge of each button press — you must release and re-press to get a second snap. This matches standard VR locomotion conventions and prevents continuous rotation while the button is held.

​
Getting Started

1

Enable TurnMod

Toggle TM on in the mod window.
2

Choose your mode

Leave ST off for Smooth Turn, or enable it for Snap Turn. Pick the mode that matches your comfort preference.
3

Configure Smooth Turn (if applicable)

Set TurnSpeed to 90–180 for natural movement. Keep Smoothnes at 0 for precision or raise it toward 2–3 for eased deceleration.
4

Configure Snap Turn (if applicable)

Set SnapAngle to 45° as a starting point. Reduce to 30° for finer steps or increase to 60° for faster orientation changes.
5

Bind your inputs

Open the Input Settings tab, assign your left turn input and right turn input, then test in a safe area.
