AddForce to the Left?

Question

For some reason my GameObject keeps getting knocked to the right instead of to the front and thats why I wanted to know if I could add force to the left? I am using this line:

 Hit.rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition(transform.forward * Force , Hit.point);

Okay so this is what I did, I it seems like this just works out perfectly and is a simple solution :)

 if(Hit.collider.rigidbody)
         {
         //Make the object fly away by adding force to it
         Hit.rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition(Force * FirePoint.transform.forward, Hit.transform.position);
         //Check if it hit and Object
         Debug.Log("Added Force to Rigid Body");
         }

Just wanted to post this in case anyone else had a similar problem.

AddForceAtPosition adds rotation, maybe that's why it seems to go the wrong way. Either that or your models axes are misaligned.

Try AddRelativeForce

 rigidbody.AddRelativeForce (-1, 0, 0); // 1 Unit left in local axes

Well its a sphere, so the objects rotation could hardly be misaligned or what do you mean? And how would you implement AddRelativeForce. As a separate line I suppose?

Just because it's a sphere it doesn't mean it doesn't have axes or a relative direction. AddRelativeForce is implemented in the same way, just the Vector3 is in local space...that's coordinates relative to the object not relative to the world.
