Question How to get a spawned object to face the side of the camera

I want the spawned gameobject to face the side of the camera point of view.

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector3 DropPosition = Playercamera.transform.position + Playercamera.transform.forward;
2. Quaternion Droprotation = Playercamera.transform.localRotation;
3.  
4. DroppedItem = Instantiate(ItemsToDrop.AutomaticSidearm, DropPosition, Droprotation);
5.  
6. DroppedItem.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0,90,0);
7.  
8.  
9.  

The camera is a child, and the y axis uses a modulo operator, it also uses

Quaternion.Euler()

to rotate. I'm not sure if this has a effect of the spawned item.

Code (CSharp):

1. if (CursorLock == true)
2.         {
3.          Cursorfloat = 1;
4.         }
5.         else
6.         {
7.             Cursorfloat = 0;
8.         }
9.  
10.         float MouseX = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse X") * Sens * Time.deltaTime * Cursorfloat;
11.         float MouseY = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse Y") * Sens * Time.deltaTime * Cursorfloat;
12.  
13.         XRotation -= MouseY;
14.         YRotation += MouseX;
15.  
16.         // This line keeps the YRotation within -360 360.
17.         YRotation = (YRotation + MouseX) % 360;
18.  
19.         XRotation = Mathf.Clamp(XRotation, -90, 90);
20.         transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(XRotation,YRotation,0);

 

Have an existing camera-child object with your desired transforms, and copy those to the new object, that's what I do.

You should use localRotation for all child objects if you haven't already.
