Question Mouse Aiming Rotation Problem

To begin I'm trying to make a floating staff follow the direction of the mouse pointer. So far I got that to work using the following code:

public Vector2 pointerPosition { get; set; }

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
Debug.Log(pointerPosition);
transform.right = (-pointerPosition - (Vector2)transform.position).normalized;
}

I have another script to get the mouse position and all that but whenever it rotates around the character I want the staff to continue pointing up. I have the actual staff object as a child to an empty game object that's rotating.

I'm not sure if I made that make sense so if there anything you need me to clarify or explain I will.

 

Sorry, It doesn't make sense to me. I have no idea what exactly are you trying to ask or achieve. You will have try explaining again.

You previously said you want the staff to point at mouse and got that working already. Now you are telling that you want the staff to point up instead of at mouse. Where exactly do you want the staff to point?

Is this important to whole rotation aspect or is it just a script which set's the pointerPosition property for the script you pasted above? If it does more than just reading and writing mouse position and it is relevant for the visuals you are trying to achieve it might help if you explained what "it" is. It's hard to understand the situation involving multiple objects if some of them are unnamed only referred as "another thing" and "it" .

My last attempt interpreting what you asked - Do you want the staff to point at mouse only sometimes and point up rest of the time? Depending on some other object which is also rotating around player.

 

I didnt kniow where would i post this questions

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public Vector2 pointerPosition { get; set; }
2.  
3. void Update()
4. {
5.     transform.LookAt(pointerPosition,Vector3.up);
6. }
7.  

 

Thankyou it worked
