Bullet Hole Rotation messed up! Please Help!

[p_r1710]

I’m trying to make bullet holes, but every time i shoot it creates the bullet holes at the wrong angle.

Here’s the code:

var maxDist : float = 10000000;
var decalHitWall : GameObject;
var floatInFrontOfWall : float = 0.01;

function Update () {
var hit : RaycastHit;
if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.forward, hit, maxDist))
{
if(decalHitWall && hit.transform.tag == “Level Parts”)
Instantiate(decalHitWall, hit.point +(hit.normal * floatInFrontOfWall), Quaternion.LookRotation(hit.normal));
}
Destroy(gameObject);
}

Any help is appreciated!

For rotation try,

Quaternion.EulerAngles(hit.normal)

Thanks for the help but now it only spawns it correctly on certain faces.

i think if you call the main function in the thing it might help idk

use the second parameter of lookRotation: up

Unity - Scripting API: Quaternion.LookRotation

I’m a 7th grade kid who’s trying to learn but i don’t really know how to use the second parameter of lookRotaion.
An example would be very helpful.

Thanks for the answers though.

well i think i had a similar problem

Drawing flat arrows

i think the problem is that you are not specifying an up direction for your look at
there ate an infinite number of rotations from which to ‘look at point’
but only one when also specifying up direction

another way to look at it is:
what axis do you want to rotate about when ‘look at point’

i think
idk
