have this code that detect objects to be close to my GO, but i want it to detect which side of the object is aproaching to add the right side force to it:

void Update()
    {
        GameObject[] Bullets;

        Bullets = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Bullet");

        foreach (GameObject bullet in Bullets) 
        {
            if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, bullet.transform.position) < 1.5f)
            {
                shouldEvade = true;
                //print("EVADE!");
            }
            else
            {
                shouldEvade = false;
            }
        }

        if(shouldEvade)
        {
            rigidbody.AddForce((transform.right * 10) * Time.deltaTime, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
        }
        Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, transform.forward, Color.red);
    }

You can figure out what local side by using Transform.InverseTransformPoint(). After transforming the point, the position will have a positive ‘x’ value if the object is on the right.

 Vector3 localPos = transform.InverseTransformPoint(bullet.transform.position);

 if (localPos.x < 0.0f) {
     Debug.Log("The bullet is on the left");
 }
 else {
     Debug.Log("The bullet is on the right");
 }
