Still Having Problems With Rotating Cannon's Properly Towards The Player Pygame

Question

few people have helped me with this problem before but the rotation is still messed up my Cannons wont rotate towards the player good they are all out of place I really need help with this problem its my first time trying to make something rotate towards a player I am trying to make my cannon mouth rotate towards player, but the rotation is messed up and up I don't know how to fix it.

    class enemyshoot:
        def __init__(self,x,y,height,width,color):
        # [...............]
             self.look_at_pos = (x,y)

     def draw(self):
          # [............]
            self.rect = self.shootsright.get_rect(topleft = (self.x, self.y))

            dx = self.look_at_pos[0] - self.rect.centerx
            dy = self.look_at_pos[1] - self.rect.centery 
            angle = (180/math.pi) * math.atan2(-dx, dy)
            (window.blit(self.image, self.rect))
            self.image = pygame.transform.rotate(self.shootsright, angle)
            self.rect  = self.image.get_rect(center = self.rect.center)

        def lookAt( self, coordinate ):
            self.look_at_pos = coordinate

This is where the cannons rotate towards the player, wherever they are

            for enemyshoot in enemyshooting:
                if not enemyshoot.isLookingAtPlayer:
                    enemyshoot.lookAt((playerman.x, playerman.y)) 

Answer 1

First of all the cannon image is far too tall. Clip the border and use a smaller image. For instance:

The center of the image is the rotation point of the canon. You can scale the image to any size you want. For instance 100x100:

self.shootsright = pygame.image.load("canss.png")
self.shootsright = pygame.transform.smoothscale(self.shootsright, (100, 100))       

See also How to rotate an image(player) to the mouse direction?.

Anyway you have to blit the cannon after rotating the image and computing the rectangle.

class enemyshoot:
    def __init__(self,x,y,height,width,color):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

        # [...]
        
        self.shootsright = pygame.image.load("canss.png")
        self.shootsright = pygame.transform.smoothscale(self.shootsright, (100, 100))            

        self.image = self.shootsright
        self.rect  = self.image.get_rect(center = (self.x, self.y))
        self.look_at_pos = (self.x, self.y)

        self.hitbox = (*self.rect.topleft, *self.rect.size)

    def draw(self):
        
        dx = self.look_at_pos[0] - self.x
        dy = self.look_at_pos[1] - self.y
        angle = (180/math.pi) * math.atan2(dx, dy)
        self.image = pygame.transform.rotate(self.shootsright, angle)
        self.rect  = self.image.get_rect(center = (self.x, self.y))

        window.blit(self.image, self.rect)
        self.hitbox = (*self.rect.topleft, *self.rect.size)
 
    def lookAt( self, coordinate ):
        self.look_at_pos = coordinate
