Hi @Jacob_Mcbride,

You can convert your mouse input to a point in world space using the camera screenToWorld() method and then use the entity lookAt() to rotate it to face that point:

There is also this example that does more things, but you can study the part that rotates the player towards the mouse point:

Can you write a script for me that uses the point that updates every 0.2 seconds?
PLEASE, I really need this, to complete my game.
