How should I write a script for an object to spin around the player, through following the mouse?

Hi!
What I am looking for is something like this.

[bleak shard]

tried google?

[sage meteor]

yes I tried google, the tutorial I found for it did not pair well with Brackeys 2D Movement scripts.

[bleak shard]

maybe ask about that instead

So you want the Brackey's 2D movement tutorial, but controlled with the mouse instead?

I want an object to rotate with the mouse in the same way that the video does it

[upbeat otter]

The video isn't very informative.. what are you making? is it like a weapon that points from the player to the mouse?

[sage meteor]

yes

ok that makes much more sense.
you could research "mouse position from screen to world space", this will help give you a direction from your player to your mouse
