Rotating my Player left or right with the mouse position.

Questions & Answers
1

I’m trying to make it so my player will change the direction they’re facing when the mouse is on the left or right side of the screen. I’m pretty new to unity and coding so I don’t know how to go about doing this. I also need to change the direction of the walk animation I’m going to be adding, because with what I’m doing I want the player to be able to walk backwards something but I’m not sure how to change the rotation of the whole animation in the direction the player is facing.

public class LookTowardMouse : MonoBehaviour {

 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update () 
 {
     
     //Get the Screen positions of the object
     Vector2 positionOnScreen = Camera.main.WorldToViewportPoint (transform.position);
     
     //Get the Screen position of the mouse
     Vector2 mouseOnScreen = (Vector2)Camera.main.ScreenToViewportPoint(Input.mousePosition);
     
     //Get the angle between the points
     float angle = AngleBetweenTwoPoints(positionOnScreen, mouseOnScreen);

     //Ta Daaa
     transform.rotation =  Quaternion.Euler (new Vector3(0f,0f,angle));
 }

 float AngleBetweenTwoPoints(Vector3 a, Vector3 b) {
     return Mathf.Atan2(a.y - b.y, a.x - b.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
 }
