Shoot direction in simple top down movement type?

[motomax]

I made this simple movement type based on the Top Down movement type. In a top down scenario, the character moves with WASD or one stick AND looks in the movement direction:

public class OneAxisTopDownMovement : MovementType
{
    public override bool FirstPersonPerspective { get { return false; } }
    public override float GetDeltaYawRotation(float characterHorizontalMovement, float characterForwardMovement, float cameraHorizontalMovement, float cameraVerticalMovement)
    {
        if (characterHorizontalMovement != 0 || characterForwardMovement != 0)
        {
            var inputVector = Vector3.zero;
            inputVector.Set(characterHorizontalMovement, 0, characterForwardMovement);

            var lookRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Quaternion.identity * inputVector.normalized);
            return MathUtility.ClampInnerAngle(MathUtility.InverseTransformQuaternion(m_Transform.rotation, lookRotation).eulerAngles.y);
        }
        else
            return 0;
    }

    public override Vector2 GetInputVector(Vector2 inputVector)
    {

        if (inputVector.magnitude != 0)
            return (new Vector2(0, 1));
        else
            return Vector2.zero;
    }
}

However, when shooting, the character always turns to 0° (facing north) and then fires in the previous angle. E.g. I go South, press fire, the character turns to North but the magic ball spawns and flies South. I guess I have to edit the shoot direction as well?

Ok, I solved it myself, I just had to override the UseIndependentLook bool. So if anyone needs

• a simple top down movement type
• without camera involved
• hence camera movement is ignored - the character just looks in the movement direction
• I'd compare it with the classic Zelda movement

You might take this one:

public class SingleStickTopDownMovement : MovementType
{
    public override bool FirstPersonPerspective => false;
    public override bool UseIndependentLook(bool characterLookDirection) => true;
    public override float GetDeltaYawRotation(float characterHorizontalMovement, float characterForwardMovement, float cameraHorizontalMovement, float cameraVerticalMovement)
    {
        if (characterHorizontalMovement != 0 || characterForwardMovement != 0)
        {
            var inputVector = Vector3.zero;
            inputVector.Set(characterHorizontalMovement, 0, characterForwardMovement);
            var lookRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Quaternion.identity * inputVector.normalized);
            return MathUtility.ClampInnerAngle(MathUtility.InverseTransformQuaternion(m_Transform.rotation, lookRotation).eulerAngles.y);
        }
        else
            return 0;
    }
    public override Vector2 GetInputVector(Vector2 inputVector)
    {
        if (inputVector.magnitude != 0)
            return (new Vector2(0, 1));
        else
            return Vector2.zero;
    }
}

(I guess one could shorten the lookRotation part, but I'm fine here at the moment)
