fps shooting in the direction of character main cam
hi im having trouble shooting in my fps game the script i am using is below. the script allows me to fire horizontally but it doesnt take into account the angle the cam is so if i look up or down the bullet still fires along the horizontal plane. any suggestions?
//player 1 shoot
function Update()
{
if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
{
var bullit =Instantiate(bullitPrefab,
GameObject.Find("Main Camera").transform.position,
transform.rotation);
bullit.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * 4000);
}
}
i needed to add a spawn point and make it a child of the character controller i found this helpful

The easiest way is to create an empty game object (the spawn point) and child it to the camera. Adjust the position and rotation of this empty object: the Z axis (blue) must point in the same direction as the camera, and its position must be 1 to 2 units ahead of the player (to not collide with it). Add the shooting script below to this game object:
var bullitPrefab: Transform;
function Update() { if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) { var bullit =Instantiate(bullitPrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation); bullit.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * 4000); } } Since the spawn point object is childed to the camera, it will point wherever the camera points.
This worked for me. Except I just planted the script into a child of the camera.
