Using Player Rotation Quaternion to Make a Directional Vector

Hey Guys, I'm having a little trouble with my Top Down 2D game. I would like my player to shoot a RayCast2D in the direction he is facing, but creating the directional vector is causing an issue. The Ray does not shoot in the correct direction. Here is my script: Transform firePoint; void Awake() { firePoint = transform.Find("FirePoint"); } void Update() { Quaternion rotation = PlayerController.playerRotation; Vector3 direction = rotation * Vector3.forward; RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(firePoint.position, direction, 100); Debug.DrawLine(firePoint.position, direction); } The vector "direction" is always in a funny place and not in front of my player as it should be. Any help is appreciated.
