Using iTween's Turret Example on 2D environment

I am trying to use iTween’s Turret Example. I did everything good so far except following mouse position with rotating turret.

I have a turret as you can see in the image above and I want it to follow the target(Mouse Position) by rotating around it self.
For that, iTween has great example but it is only for 3d :frowning: So, I tried to implement it in 2D but whatever I did I couldn’t succeed.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CannonController : MonoBehaviour
{
		public Rigidbody2D bullet;
		public Camera mainCam;
		public GameObject pivot;
		float pivotX;
		float pivotY;


		public Transform target;
		float smoothTime = 0.3f;
		float xOffset = 1f;
		float yOffset = 1f;
		Vector2 velocity;
		Transform thisTransform;
	     


		void Start ()
		{
				thisTransform = transform;
		}
		// Update is called once per frame
		void Update ()
		{
				pivotX = pivot.transform.position.x;
				pivotY = pivot.transform.position.y;


				//rotation:
				Vector2 mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint (Input.mousePosition);
				mousePos.y = 0;
				gameObject.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (new Vector3 (mousePos.x, 0, mousePos.y));
				Vector2 worldPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint (mousePos);
				iTween.LookUpdate (gameObject, iTween.Hash ("looktarget", worldPos, "time", 2, "axis", "y"));


				//rotation:
//				Vector3 mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint (Input.mousePosition);
//				mousePos.z = 0;
//				gameObject.transform.position = mousePos;
//				Vector3 worldPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint (mousePos);
//				iTween.LookUpdate (gameObject, iTween.Hash ("looktarget", worldPos, "time", 2, "axis", "y"));
		
				//fire:
				if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
						Rigidbody2D clone = (Rigidbody2D)Instantiate (bullet, new Vector2 (pivotX, pivotY), transform.rotation);
						clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection (Vector2.up * 10f);
				}
		}
}

Commented parts under “rotation:” was the iTween’s original code for rotating by following mouse position for 3D environment.
The other parts under “rotation:” with Vector2 code is my code.

This was the closest trial I could ever made, but I it is not really working. It only moves the turret on x-axis just a little bit (not much!)
But I guess, the turret should be rotate around z-axis.
So, can anyone help me to rotate the turret around z-axis smoothly by following mouse position ?

I assume you want an object to point at the mouse position.

Vector3 pos = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(transform.position);
Vector3 dir = Input.mousePosition - pos;
float angle = Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, dir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
transform.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.forward);

This code assumes that the ‘front’ of your turret points right when the rotation is (0,0,0). The arrows in your drawing are a bit confusing. If you are rotating around the central point with the object, make the visible object a child of an empty game object at the pivot. The empty game object will follow the mouse.
