How to make the Mini Map not rotate with character using C#?

Question

I am making a 3rd person game and I wanted to have a top down mini map. Although I already have the mini map up it rotates when I rotate my character. I don't have a script on the camera itself all I have is it pared with the character. Could anyone give me a full C# script showing how to make it follow but not rotate? Thanks!

Make the camera folow the player:

 public Transform playerTransform;
 public float offset_y = 10f;
 
 void Update() {
      transform.position = playerTransform.position + Vector3.up * offset_y ;
 }

or keep the camera as a child of the player, but reset it's rotation every frame:

 void Update() {
      Vector3 eulerAngles = transform.eulerAngles;
     eulerAngles.y = 0;
     eulerAngles.z = 0;
     transform.eulerAngles = eulerAngles;
 }

@Cherno Thanks so very much! I have a static world map that I am using in a canvas panel. I wanted to use a $$anonymous$$i pointer arrow to follow the player around the world and show in front of my static map. I'm going to attempt to use your script on the pointer/$$anonymous$$i arrow & see if that works. If not, I will go back to what I originally had, same as the OP, and have my main world map but not have it rotate like my $$anonymous$$i map does. Thanks again!
