Use the look_at method of your mob node.

You can use the look_at() function:

look_at ( Vector3 target, Vector3 up )

For example, you could add the following code to your mob script:

func _physics_process(delta):
      look_at(player_reference.global_transform.origin, Vector3.UP)

Of course, this is not a perfect solution since it would also make the mob rotate up and down towards the player, so you might want to set a custom y value in the target Vector.

by using $mesh.look_at(player.translation, Vector3.UP) it rotates in the opposite direction of player. Any way to fix it?
