Hello guys,
I managed to get a simple shooting script working however when
I shoot it always shoots in a certain direction which is the top right.
Its supposed to shoot at my mouse. Here is the relavant code:

void Shoot(){
	
		if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
			target = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint (Input.mousePosition);
			target.z = transform.position.z;
			GameObject shotr = Instantiate (Resources.Load ("bullet"), transform.position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
			shotr.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().AddForce (new Vector2 (target.x, target.y));


		//	bullet.SendMessage ("gotot");
		}

You are using WorldToScreenPoint, when I’m guessing you want to be using ScreenToWorldPoint, which transforms a screen point to a world point. You’re doing the exact opposite right now.

So do

target = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

instead.
