Making a character look in the direction but also align with ground normal.

So I got this script that's working almost as intended. Only thing that's going wrong is that the character's final rotation seems ingame as the average of the rotations between the controlstick-to-rotation part and the ground-normal-to-rotation part. I figured that the stick to rotation part should only affect the local y axis of rotation but I have no idea on how to do that. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help guy! This forum and its members are always giving me great idea and solutions. Hopefully I'll be able to return the favor!

Code (CSharp):

1.         if (Physics.Raycast(frontRay, out hitFront, 1.3f) && Physics.Raycast(backRay, out hitBack, 1.3f))
2.         {
3.             newPosition = new Vector3(transform.position.x, (hitFront.point.y + hitBack.point.y) / 2 + transform.up.y, transform.position.z);
4.             newRotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(transform.up, ((hitFront.normal + hitBack.normal).normalized)) * transform.rotation;
5.         }
6.  
7.         combinedAxises = Mathf.Clamp(Mathf.Abs(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")) + Mathf.Abs(Input.GetAxis("Vertical")), 0f, 1f);
8.  
9.         if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") != 0f || Input.GetAxis("Vertical") != 0f)
10.         {
11.             var moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
12.  
13.             moveDirection += cam.transform.forward * Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
14.             moveDirection += cam.transform.right * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
15.             moveDirection.y = 0f;
16.  
17.             var newRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(moveDirection);
18.  
19.             transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, newRotation, rotationSpeed * rotationSpeedModifier * Time.deltaTime);
20.  
21.             sonicVelocity = transform.InverseTransformDirection(GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity);
22.             sonicVelocity.x *= 0.1f;
23.             GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = transform.TransformDirection(sonicVelocity);
24.  
25.         }
26.  
27.         if (Physics.Raycast(frontRay, out hitFront, 1.3f) && Physics.Raycast(backRay, out hitBack, 1.3f))
28.         {
29.             transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, newPosition, Time.deltaTime * 250);
30.             transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.rotation, newRotation, 20f * Time.deltaTime);
31.         }
32.  

 

Solved it by taking

newRotation

, transforming it to euler angles, modifying the x and z axis to the

transform.rotation.eulerangles

corresponding to those axis.
