How can I get my 2D enemy to rotate to look at my player?

Question

This is the code i have so far

Vector3 dir = player.position - transform.position;

         Quaternion lookRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(dir);
         Vector3 rotation = lookRotation.eulerAngles;
         enemy.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, rotation.z);

         if (timeBtwShots <= 0)
         {
             //GameObject Bullet = Instantiate(projectile, Firepoint.position, Quaternion.identity);
             //timeBtwShots = startTimeShots;
             //Destroy(Bullet, 3f);


         }
         else
         {
             timeBtwShots -= Time.deltaTime;
         }

@Charlie010903 I usually take a way to different approach the code is a bit noob like but works very well

Transform Player; Quaternion ang_Left; Quaternion ang_Right; void Start(){ ang_Left.y = 180; } void Update(){ if (Player.position.x - transform.position.x <= 0){ transform.SetPositionAndRotation(transform.position , ang_Left); } else{ transform.SetPositionAndRotation(transform.position , ang_Right); } }

for this to make sure your game object is set to y rotation at 0 and is facing right side else change the ang_Left and ang_Right variables

 public transform player;
 void Start()
 {
     player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
 }
 void Update()
 {
     transform.LookAt(player);
 }
