[Unity2D] Firing bullets based on gun orientation
So when the player clicks, it instantiates a bullet prefab as well as gives the rigidbody2D a force. The issue is I don't know what vector2 to use I've tried Vector2.right, any combination of position and rotation vectors I'm out of ideas. This is my code.
GameObject clone = (GameObject) Instantiate(bullet, muzzle.position, transform.rotation);
clone.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().AddForce(Vector2.right * bulletSpeed);

The direction they should move is dependent on the orientation of your gun sprite. For example, let's say the gun points to the right naturally. In that case, rather than Vector2.right, you can use transform.right for the relative direction as the gun rotates around.
clone.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().AddForce(transform.right * bulletSpeed);
