Problem with bullet not rotating with gun
My bullet dose not rotate with the gun when i fire (i rotate the gun in play mode and the bullet still comes out like its facing forward)
heres my script
var bulletPrephab : Transform ;
function Update () {
if(Input.GetButtonDown("Z"))
{
var bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrephab, GameObject.Find("Spawn Point") . transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
bullet.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * 2000);
}
}
Maybe works if you apply the same object rotation:
var bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrephab, GameObject.Find("Spawn Point") . transform.position, transform.rotation);
Try to change the Quaternion.identity to transform.rotation.
Sorry if I don't understand the question.
helpful for rotating the bullets, but they still don't travel in the correct direction
You sir are a genius
You should look at the axis of your bulletPrefab and notice how the bullet is faced compared to its axis. For instance, notice the blue axis - is it along the bullet length pointing the same direction the bullet does? (probably not since you have this question). http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Transform-forward.html
You can add an empty game object as a parent to the bullet prefab while rotating the empty game object before doing so, so that its forward vector (blue) will point like the bullet does, then make the bullet prefab the child. Next, you should create a new bullet prefab out of this hierarchy and drag this prefab to your script.
Now, if your bullet is not rotated as you wish do
bullet.transform.forward = transform.forward;
After you call the "Instantiate", and your bullet should be fine.
