Weapon sticks to sprite but I want it to rotate with my cursor

[past geyser]

https://youtu.be/DPqc7qYDtzM I did everything in this video

https://paste.ofcode.org/Zt8yjUBZt3JRWxaiVBMiXS

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class WeaponParent : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Vector2 PointerPosition { get; set; }          

    private void update()
    {
        transform.right = (PointerPosition-(Vector2)transform.position).normalized;

    }


}```

I think we try to change z of weapon with a vector 2 pointer position but I think vector 2 doesnt include z right?

It works in the video but in mine nothing happens

to start with you do not write update like that

[past geyser]

🤦

[haughty pollen]

pay attention. Case matters!

had you added a Debug.Log into that you would have seen that it is never executed. Big clue

[past geyser]

it didnt fix but thanks

[haughty pollen]

So debug it. Actually look at the variables you are using rather than making assumptions

[past geyser]

did you say that to shortened script or other one

[haughty pollen]

the one posted above

it's the only one I can see

[past geyser]

how should I write it?

[haughty pollen]

seriously?
Update not update

[past geyser]

Can you take a look at this one

oh okay

Now I can rotate the weapon but

How can I tell

Its in a big circle

[haughty pollen]

this

private void AnimateCharacter()
    {
        Vector2 lookDirection = pointerInput - (Vector2)transform.position;
        
    }

Is completely pointless, it does nothing

[past geyser]

okay so I'm deleting it

[haughty pollen]

why? You put it there for a reason didn't you?

[past geyser]

this channel does not write scripts from the beginning

so I copied the code made some changes but forgot to delete it

[past geyser]

isnt this supposed to turn my character with my mouse

[haughty pollen]

not even close

[past geyser]

😀

[haughty pollen]

look at your code!
lookDirection is a method local variable. It will affect nothing outside of it's enclosing method
as you do nothing with it. It in itself does nothing

this is basic C# of which you appear to know nothing

[past geyser]

youre right
