Bullet not always shooting in forward direction. Code included.
public Rigidbody bullet;
public float speed;
Rigidbody clone;
void Update () {
if (Input.GetKeyDown("space")){
clone = Instantiate(bullet, transform.position, transform.rotation) as Rigidbody;
clone.velocity = transform.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime;
Destroy(clone.gameObject, 15);
}
}
My bullet is not always in the forward direction. Sometimes it doesn't even shoot. Please help and thanks
we might need some more information, but the issue could be that the object you are instantiating from probably has a rigid body, and by instantiating the bullet object inside of it, you get some funky behaviour on your bullets velocity
@Prodigga has a good point in the comments plus if for instance you instantiate the bullet rigidbody directly ontop of whatever is shooting it and that thing has a collider then all hell will break loose :)
You might want to try
clone = Instantiate(bullet, transform.position + transform.forward * 1, transform.rotation) as Rigidbody
Where you should change the * 1 to be the size of the thing that is doing the shooting/2 + a fudge factor.
My first guess is that you should use Quaternion.identity instead of transform.rotation
so the line of code:
clone = Instantiate(bullet, transform.position, transform.rotation);
might need to be:
clone = Instantiate(bullet, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
Another possibility is that you need to ignore collision for the bullet with the object it is shot from like this but with correct variables for your project:
Physics.IgnoreCollision(bullet.collider, player.collider);
