Position an object at a specific point in an orbit
So I'm trying to make a small sphere(we'll call it bullet for simplicity) around the player sphere, that hovers about 0.75 units off of the player, towards the mouse. Basically, the camera is on the side of the level, the player is on 0.0f on their Z axis, and I want the ball to always be pointing to the camera at an offset of 0.75 units from the center of the ball.
Vector3 v3 = Input.mousePosition; // This line, and the next two are designed to fetch the mouse position.
v3.z = 0.0f;
v3 = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(v3);
Vector3 Dir = transform.position - v3; // This creates a direction between the mouse and the character
Dir.Normalize(); // Normalization for good measure
/*
* This moves the bullet ball around the player sphere to point to the mouse- I don't get why this isn't working.
*/
Bullet.transform.position = transform.position + Dir * 0.75f;
