How do I fire a 2D projectile based on it's current angle/location.
I have a project for class in which I have to make a turret constantly rotate and occaisonally shoot a bullet from the barrel of the turret.
each rotation does the following below.
turretObject.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(turretObject.transform.eulerAngles.x,turretObject.transform.eulerAngles.y,newZ);
GameObject tempBullet = Instantiate (projectile, projectileLoc, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
tempBullet.transform.eulerAngles = projectileAngle;
in my projectile script(the script attatched to my bullet) every 50Ms I have a corrutine doing this.
IEnumerator projectileTick(float ms)
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds (ms / 1000);
lifeTime -= 50f;
if (lifeTime == 0f && currentProjectile != null)
Destroy (currentProjectile);
currentProjectile.rigidbody2D.velocity = -transform.right * 5;
print ("here");
if (currentProjectile != null)
StartCoroutine (projectileTick (50));
}
the result is this
I want the bullet to fire based on the angle its facing however I cannot seem to get that to work properly any help would be appreciated.
I've recently done something similar, I think. $$anonymous$$aybe you can try this: Give the end of the barrel an empty child that is used solely for the purpose of it's transform. Whenever you instantiate a bullet, you would make it spawn at that child's position with that child's rotation. Your bullet's instruction could be literally as simple as transform.up * whatever (assu$$anonymous$$g you place the rotation to point "up"). If this is along the lines of what you're looking for and you would like more clarification or a code example, I'll be more than glad to help.
Public GameObject Cannon;
Private Vector3 Vel;
Private float speed = 5f;
Void Start()
{
Vel = Cannon.transform.eulerAngles.normalize() * speed;
}
Pass the Cannon object to the projectile. Then use the Vel variable above as the projectile velocity.
