Basic Targeting System - Canon shooting too high

Hi

I have a basic targeting system whereby a canon shoots the player (3rd person). The canon should be shooting directly at the player, however it always shoots too high and I can't figure out what's causing this. I have tried tweaking multiple things but still no luck.

Help please!

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class Shoot_Gun : MonoBehaviour { private float lastfired; public GameObject cannon; public GameObject player; public int cannonRange; public GameObject bullet; public GameObject bulletSpawnPoint;

 // Use this for initialization
 void Start () {
     lastfired = Time.time + 4;
 }
 
 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update () {
     
     /*
      * every 4 seconds, check if the player is in range
      */
     if (Time.time >= lastfired) {
         lastfired = Time.time + 4;
         
         
         //distance between cannon and player, within range
         if (Vector3.Distance(cannon.transform.position, player.transform.position) <= cannonRange)
         {
             print("bang");
             cannon.transform.LookAt(player.transform.position);
             Instantiate(bullet,bulletSpawnPoint.transform.position, bulletSpawnPoint.transform.rotation);
         }
         else {
                 print("not in range");
         }
     }
 }
 

}
