Rotation acting weird

Question

alt text

As you can see in the gif, the rotation for my player entity is fine, but my enemy is acting weird. They share the same script, which I had written for a previous project with no issue. I don't get why it isn't working right here. Given that the script works fine everywhere else it's implemented, I thought there might be some issue with the gameobject, but I haven't found anything there that would cause this behavior. I appreciate any insight into the matter.

 private C1_PlayerController player;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         player = FindObjectOfType<C1_PlayerController>();
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         Quaternion rot = Quaternion.LookRotation(transform.position - player.transform.position,Vector3.forward);
         transform.rotation = rot;
         transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 0, transform.eulerAngles.z);
     }

Try this:

 void Update () {
     transform.right = player.transform.position - transform.position;
     // or transform.up, depending on which direction the arrow is pointing by default
 }

The simplicity of this solution is infuriating. You, sir, are a godsend. I've been banging my head against this for two days.

Holy . I thought I kinda know the basic tricks to handle transforms but i seriously did not know that one could directly set the rotations by defining the transforms global directions...

Well done!
