how to set a velocity on a rigidbody based on its rotation;
In my project it Instantiates a gameobject at a random rotation, then it needs to set its velocity so it goes forward no matter what direction its facing, is there something like local velocity I can use?
You can do some simple vector math, first, get a vector3 with the direction of the gameobject's transform like so
Vector3 dir = transform.eulerAngles;
Then, normalize it to get a directional vector, I recommend that you watch this if you don't already understand normalization
dir = dir.normalized;
then finally, just apply that to your velocity, with a float as the scalar (think of the scalar as your speed)
float speed = 10;
rb.velocity = dir * speed;
And there you have it! If you have any questions on this or anything else really, don't hesitate to ask
