Rotate object towards mouse and around the player (camera attached to player)

[partimelhero]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to do a rotation like this video

Unity 2D Aim and Shoot at mouse position Tutorial

the problem is I have camera attached to my player so when I tried using his rotation, the whole
screen rotations around the camera.
I tried changing the line to
fire_point.eulerAngles=new Vector3(0, 0, angle);
but the object just spins in place. It doesn’t rotate around the player with some distance away.
I have made my fire_point a child of the player and pulled it some distance out.

EDIT: to clarify, the object is always some distance under the player. I want it to rotate around the player, following the mouse with a distance.

It is very simple if you think carefully. My approach is not best but it is very simple.

If camera is following your player, then you can do following steps.

1. Create an empty Game Object which will follow the player (don’t make it child of player game object). Use script to handle follow behaviour. Let’s call this game object playerFollowObject.
2. Make your fire point game object child of this playerFollowObject object created.
3. Now, you can use camera methods to convert mouse position to world position (which you might have already done).
4. Get the direction between playerFollowObject and mouse position (In world position) and rotate your playerFollowObject.
5. This will automatically rotate your fire point game object where mouse is pointing.

I have attached a screenshot to help you understand how you playerFollowObject and fire point should be.
