How do i instantiate a prefab with the same rotation as the gameobject? This is my code

             if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E) && Skills >= 1 && Class == 1 && Fire1Ready)
             {
                 Instantiate(FireBall, transform.position, transform.rotation);
                 Fire1Ready = false;
                 CurrentAbility = 1;
                 Invoke(nameof(Cooldown), Fire1Cooldown);
             }

You need a reference to the object you want to match the rotation of, unless it's the Player itself casting the fireball from the players script. There are 2 ways to do it though.

 Instantiate(fireball, fireballSpawnPos, playerTransform.rotation);
 
 or
 
 GameObject go = Instantiate(fireball);
 go.transform.position = fireballSpawnPos;
 go.transform.forward = playerTransform.forward;

When instantiating, the first param is the object to instantiate, second param is the position OR transform to parent. IF you o position param, you can also set rotation param. Of course it WILL be in world coordates. If you want to set some sort of local rotation you'll have to instantiate it first with a reference to it. There is little difference in the result if you do Rotation or Forward as the end result is the same. Still I prefer using directions over rotations. Whatever you do though just leave the Eulers alone.
