Instantiated object using parent's transform as world axes
I'm trying to have an object fire a projectile directly in front of it with this.
function FireLaser () {
var LaserClone : Rigidbody = Instantiate(laser,transform.position, transform.rotation);
}
The problem is that the instantiated object is using the transform rotation of the player object as its world axes, in effect doubling the intended rotation. If I use Quaternion.identity instead of transform.rotation it does fire along the world z-axis.
Then just use transform.localRotation instead... a simple look up at the documentation should made it possible to yourself to find it out...
http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Transform.html
After some further investigation, I discovered that the rotation of the instantiated object was right, but the script controlling its movement was using local space. Setting that transform.Translate to world space fixed the problem.
