Turn
Introduction
Turn movement allows the player to turn around. Turning can be configured to be either smooth or snap to limit motion sickness.

The turn movement is implemented as a movement scene that needs to be added to the controller node whose input we are using. This will add a PlayerBody if necessary.
The following shows a player configuration including turning:
The functionality works out of the box but can be further configured:
The project can also be configured with default turn settings:
