2D Player Rotation in the Direction of Input (Unity Tutorial | 2D Top Down Shooter) 

Thank you 😊🥰

It's not too far away 😊

Thanks for this comment 😊

Hi Mark, thanks for your support 😊 The plan for this series was to have the player shoot in the direction it's moving, but thinking about it, it's probably also worth including 'aim at mouse cursor' as an alternative control mechanism. It'll be while before we get to it though so in the meantime this code extract may help private void RotateInDirectionOfCursor() { Vector3 mouseWorldPosition = _camera.ScreenToWorldPoint(_mousePosition); Vector2 targetDirection = mouseWorldPosition - transform.position; targetDirection.Normalize(); Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(transform.forward, targetDirection); var rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, targetRotation, _rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime); _rigidbody.MoveRotation(rotation); } To aim at the cursor you need to convert the mouse position to world space. Then you can work out the direction the cursor is from the player. Finally you can rotate towards this target direction in the same way as this video. Hope that helps 😊

@@KetraGames Thank you so much for including this code snippet, I'm trying to include right stick controller rotation using the new input system and I'm kinda having a hard time figuring out how to use that when controller input is detected.. Is there any chance I could get some pointers?

@@KetraGames Thank you, this code extract helped me out immensely!

👍Thank you 😊

Hi, I think you'll probably want to skip this rotation step and instead swap to the relevant animation depending on the direction of input. Hope that helps 😊

Don't put your camera inside the player. Create a script that moves the player to the camera.

Hi, no they were deleted videos that were still in the playlist somehow. We've now removed them. Thanks for letting us know 😊

Hi, the other videos haven't been released yet. We're making them as fast as we can 😊

@@KetraGames oh, my mistake 😅

Hi, not sure why you aren't getting the quick actions. Have you selected the code you want to apply the action to? If you can't get it to work then you can do it by hand. It's just not as quick 😊

@@KetraGames Thanks 😊

Hi, some people have reported issues using the MoveRotation method. Try changing it to SetRotation. Hope that helps 😊

Hi, we'll cover this at a later point in the series. If you can't wait then the full project, including rotate toward mouse, is available to our 'All Access' Patrons here - www.patreon.com/posts/full-project-for-75231350 😊

@@KetraGames Okay, thanks for your explanation :D

Hi, is your character facing upwards towards the top of the screen before you press play? The parent Player object should have no rotation and the child graphics object should be rotated by 90 degrees

@@KetraGames I have the same problem and the character is facing right

@@KetraGamesNevermind i fixed it, i just changed the graphics z rotation to 90

Hi, if you can't get the quick refactoring to work, then you can just copy the changes manually. It's not as quick but as long as the end result is the same then it will work. Hope that helps 😊

@@KetraGames I got it and I did it thank you 🔥.. Btw I didn't get the 12 2D free background assets about the battle background .. Is it over or how?

@@PungPortal Yes, unfortunately those background are no longer available. We created a similar one here - drive.google.com/file/d/1ACDZNthP0vIpFLBOLvJbI6uIVhM_IEGo/view?usp=sharing. Or you can use any other background image you like 😊

Hi, have you tried copying the code from here? dotnetfiddle.net/6DWkDw

Hi, what errors are you seeing? Can you compare yours with the final script here to see if there are any differences? - dotnetfiddle.net/6DWkDw

Hi, if that option isn't available you can just manually change the script to match. It will take a bit longer but it should still work 😊

@@KetraGames i cant change the "private void fixedupdate" into setplayervelocity.. how can i fix it

Hi, does it rotate at all?

Hi, sorry to hear that it's not working for you. Here are some suggestions for things to check 1. Are there any errors in the console window? 2. Have you installed the new input system from the Package Manager 3. Have you added the Player Input component to the Player and assigned the actions? Hope that helps 😊

Hi, have you installed the Input System package from the package manager?
