I’m trying to find a suitable way to have an object rotate one way and then spring back the other way slightly less stringly. I’ve tried a few methods such as using transition.to with an onComplete field to reverse the direction and multiply the rotation value by 0.8 but it never looks quite right.
The best I can get so far is to use:
rotationValue = 45
local direction = 1
local function spin()
transition.to(object, {rotation = rotationValue \* direction , time = 250, transition=easing.inOutQuad})
rotationValue = rotationValue \* 0.8
direction = -direction
end
I’ve also tried attaching physics bodies and applying angular impulses, but then it’s not consistent and looks even worse.
I guess what I’m looking for is for it to spin in a way similar to one of these toys:

(If you were to look at one of the discs faces, and let it slow down naturally).
So it would spin to say 90 degrees CW, then to -80 CCW, then 70 CW and so on until it comes to rest.
Has anyone had to do anything similar before that could help me?
