How do you add force to a clone after you spawn it?
I want to make a gun, so far it spawns bullets but those bullets travel forward. this is my code
void FixedUpdate() { bulletSpawnPoint = GameObject.Find("BulletSpawnPoint").transform.position; if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.Z)) { Instantiate (bullet); bullet.transform.position = bulletSpawnPoint; bullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody> ().AddForce (0, 300, 0); } What should I do?
@nathanthesnooper is right. But you should also just store a reference to your bulletSpawnPoint. GameObject.Find is expensive to run every frame. There's a line in the documentation ( here ) that says this is a bad idea.
If it's 3D, use transform.forward.
As for actually applying the force, you want to do something like this.
GameObject newBullet = (GameObject)Instantiate(bullet) as GameObject;
newBullet.transform.position = bulletSpawnPoint;
newBullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(transform.forward);
Ok so the bullet prefab needs to have a script attached to it that either at start or in update adds force
thanks a lot that helped me a lot but i have another question. 1) How can I make just the rotation of bullet static. I have tried this checking the check box of static on top right side, in transform inspector.
No you can add force to the Bullet through the gun script, just when you instantiate the bullet you give it a name, then you can do something like this
Bullet.Getcomponent < Rigidbody >().Addforce(transform.forward)
Not at home so I don't have an actual script to show you. Hope this helps
