Player not rotating with camera

Questions & Answers

Hey, so I was writing a mouse look and player movement script to replace the one that comes with unity, but for some reason, the character rotation is not working.

MuseLook Script :

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class MouseLook : MonoBehaviour {
	private float lookSensitivity = 5f;
	private float xRotation;
	private float yRotation;
	private float currentXRotation;
	private float currentYRotation;
	private float xRotationV;
	private float yRotationV;
	private float smoothnessFactor = .1f;
	CursorLockMode wantedMode;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		wantedMode = CursorLockMode.Confined;	
	}

	public float returnXRot () {
		return currentXRotation;
	}


	public float returnYRot () {
		return currentYRotation;
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		Cursor.lockState = wantedMode;

		xRotation -= Input.GetAxis ("Mouse Y") * lookSensitivity;
		yRotation += Input.GetAxis ("Mouse X") * lookSensitivity;
	
		xRotation = Mathf.Clamp (xRotation, -90, 90);

		currentXRotation = Mathf.SmoothDamp (currentXRotation, xRotation, ref xRotationV, smoothnessFactor);
		currentYRotation = Mathf.SmoothDamp (currentXRotation, yRotation, ref yRotationV, smoothnessFactor);

		transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (currentXRotation, currentYRotation, 0);
	}

}

PlayerMovement Script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
	private float speed = 10f;
	private float jumpForce = 8f;
	private float gravity = 30f;
	private Vector3 moveDir = Vector3.zero;
	public GameObject playerCamera;


	void Start () {
		playerCamera = GameObject.Find ("playerCamera");

	}

	void Update () {
		CharacterController controller = gameObject.GetComponent<CharacterController> ();

		if (controller.isGrounded) {
			moveDir = new Vector3 (Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis ("Vertical"));
			moveDir = transform.TransformDirection (moveDir);
			moveDir *= speed;
			if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Jump")) {
				moveDir.y = jumpForce;
			}
		}


		moveDir.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
		controller.Move (moveDir * Time.deltaTime);

		transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (0, playerCamera.transform.rotation.y, 0);
	}
}

Any help would be much apreciated

I suppose first script is attached to the camera so it affects camera’s rotation and does nothing with player object. I’d suggest to use currentYRotation to rotate player as well. If your camera is a child of player object, you can rotate horizontally the player object instead of a camera.
