Question

So I have this small game and I want to have 2D image rotate with the camera so that they always look at you. I made a small script so that it follows the player’s movement but that looks a bit janky and doesn’t quite feel the same. Here’s the code I’ve been using, I’ve been coding only for one day so I don’t know much GDscript.

extends Node3D
@onready var player = $"../Player/Head"

func _process(_delta: float) -> void:
	look_at(player.global_position, Vector3.UP, true)

I tried with global_rotation but that doesn’t work.

PS: it extends Node3D because I have used it on static images and animated sprites. it works on both but its still not what im looking for

Sprite3D and AnimatedSprite3D both have a billboard property you can set to enabled to make it always follow the camera.
