for this procedure, i wanted to spawn a mob in front of me and have it looking the same place I was looking when I spawned it but I cant seem to move the entitys head and where its look at all.
i would also settle for being able to spawn the entity rotated where I am looking but when I do it only spawns on the x axis so I cant face it upwards or down

Set the direction the player is looking at in a variable. Make the entity look in that direction/variable.
how would i do that
how would i do that
and do you mean a local variable
Yes I do mean that. On play update tick, set varible to entity direction entity is facing. On (Your) entity update tick, set the direction they face to that varible.
Can you please be a bit more specific?
Some more info on this will be helpful.
I agree
How do I set an entity's direction to be the same?
Using the clearly labeled procedure blocks for it.
There are procedure blocks to get and set an entity's pitch and yaw, which are look directions. You need to get the player's pitch/yaw, and set the entity's pitch/yaw to be the same.
Alternatively, you can use procedure blocks to get the look X, look Y, and look Z positions of the player, then use a clearly labeled procedure block to force the entity to look at that X Y Z position.
The first option makes the entity imitate the player's head position, while the second one makes the entity look at the same block. There would be a clear difference between the two in-game if you and the entity are on opposite sides of the block you are looking at.
You can use local number variable to store the pitch/yaw/X/Y/Z values.
