Question

Im just getting started so maybe I missed something. The problem is, the projectile is offset and spawns in different places depending on the angle I shoot from. I tried changing the values of laser rotation degrees but honestly I feel like the problem isnt in the code. This problem has been haunting me for almost a week now so if anyone could help me I will be very grateful. If you need any more information feel free to ask. I used Marker2D for the projectile spawning point

extends CharacterBody2D
signal laser_shoot(pos, direction)
signal grenade(pos, direction)
var can_laser: bool = true
var can_grenade: bool = true
@onready var weapon_timer = $LaserTimer
@export var PlayerPos = Vector2()

func _process(_delta):
	var direction = Input.get_vector("left", "right", "up", "down")
	velocity = direction * 500
	PlayerPos.x = global_position.x
	PlayerPos.y = global_position.y
	move_and_slide()
	
	look_at(get_global_mouse_position())
	
	var player_direction = (get_global_mouse_position() - position).normalized()
	if Input.is_action_pressed("primary_action") and can_laser:
		$AnimatedSprite2D.play("rifle_shoot")
		$GPUParticles2D.emitting = true
		if weapon_timer.is_stopped():
			weapon_timer.start()
		var laser_makers = $LaserStart.get_children()
		var selected_laser = laser_makers[randi() % laser_makers.size()]
		can_laser = false
		$LaserTimer.start()
		laser_shoot.emit(selected_laser.global_position, player_direction)
