Question by DonHaul · Apr 14, 2014 at 01:35 AM · 2d3dvelocityvector

How do I create a vector that always points down locally

So if I do this:

if(Input.GetButton("Kick1")) {rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.down * kickForce;}

When I press the key, no matter what is the rotation, the cube goes down, but I want it to go to where his bottom is facing...

Anyone knows how its done?

Use '-transform.up' in place of 'Vector3.down'. '-transform.up' will be the local down of the object translated into world space.

 if(Input.GetButton("Kick1")) {rigidbody.velocity = -transform.up * kickForce;}

@The_Baz - yep I messed up. 'transform.down' does not exist, so you have to use '-transform.up'.
