Self righting object on sphere
I have an object that is affected by a ConstantForce in a given direction.
I want that object to correct itself so that it's "up" vector will be the negative of the force vector.
Meaning, it should "stand upright" in a given "gravity field".
I've tried multiple approaches, but none seem to work, well enough, or at all.
//Look away from the force, add 90 degrees rotation on X axis, and Lerp to that.
//This flips the "up" vector after a certain angle.
var b = Quaternion.LookRotation(-_force.force).eulerAngles + new Vector3(90,0,0);
body.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(Vector3.Lerp(body.rotation.eulerAngles, b, lerp));
//Get the rotation needed to rotate from "up" to the new "up", breaks completely after a certain angle
var c = Quaternion.FromToRotation(transform.up.normalized, -_force.force.normalized);
I also tried using RigidBody.ForceAtPostion(), by pulling 2 sides of the object from 2 directions.
This worked, but the object either wobbles if the force is too weak, or jitters if it's too strong.
