I have a turret I would like to automatically look at specific targets, rotating only on the Z-axis, looking up. Most of the examples I see of LookRotation are in Javascript, which does Quaternions differently than C#. In JS you can list the axes seperately but you can’t go that in C#. Example:

public Transform target;

void Update () {
        var newRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(target - transform.position).eulerAngles;
        newRotation.x = 0;
        newRotation.y = 0;
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(newRotation);
    }

Isn’t as simple in C#. Quaternions are pretty confusing to me so I was just wondering how to limit the rotation to just Z-axis in C#.

I believe this is what you are looking for:

public Transform target;
 
void Update () {
    Vector3 look = target.position - transform.position;
    look.z = 0;
    transform.rotation =  Quaternion.LookRotation(look);
}
