Instantiate rotation related to player rotation

Questions & Answers

Hello im super new and i´m trying to make a spell that is an earth wall rising from the ground.
i managed to google everything so far but i cant get the wall to rotate in relation to my main character.
the game is like top down view with an angle im using a navmesh and a navmeshagent to navigate.
thats what i got so far

public class EarthWall : MonoBehaviour {

public float cooldownTime;
private float nextFireTime;

Ray myRay;
RaycastHit hit;
public GameObject objectToInstantiate;

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
    if (Time.time > nextFireTime)
    {
        myRay = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);

        if (Physics.Raycast(myRay, out hit))
        {
            if (Input.GetKeyUp("q"))
            {
                Instantiate(objectToInstantiate, hit.point, Quaternion.identity);
                nextFireTime = Time.time + cooldownTime;
            }
        }
    
    }
}

}

i hope i made my point clear my english is not the best im sorry.
thanks for any help i get

as a bonus question, i want the wall to only be casted in a certain range from the player :slight_smile:

Good day @strausse1

First, you must know you can instantiate something, and then change what you need. You should do something like this example:

         if (Input.GetKeyUp("q"))
         {
             GameObject ObjectToInstantiate= Instantiate(objectToInstantiate, hit.point, Quaternion.identity);
             nextFireTime = Time.time + cooldownTime;
             ObjectToInstantiate.transform.rotation = RotationYouWant;
             ObjectToInstantiate.GetComponent<Something>().somethingelse = false;
         }

As you see, you can declare a gameobject and then instantiate it, so you have a variable that can be modified as any other gameobject.

You need now to know how to set the correct rotation. Look at the comments, thare are good advises.
