2D tranform.lookAt Problem
God knows y i always stuck here...2D game
I have a sprite , i want it look at on another object and move towards it. But when i use
spaceshipTransform.LookAt (_earth);
This rotates the sprite (since LookAt - Rotates the transform so the forward vector points at /target/'s current position.)
So how do i make the sprite just rotate by z axis (so that it looks fine) ?
I don't understand your problem
This rotates the sprite
isn't this what you need?

Construct your sprite so that the front of the sprite is facing right when the rotation of the sprite is (0,0,0). Then you can do:
var dir =_earth.postion - transform.position;
var angle = Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, dir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
transform.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.forward);
This assumes that _earth is a transform. If it is a Vector3, just use '_earth' rather than '_earth.position'.
