Bullet prefab not instantiating in bullet spawner like it should

[ADR3N-LINE]

Hey, so I have a script on my player object which is supposed to instantiate a “bullet” prefab GameObject at the player in the direction of the targetPoint.

The issue I’m having is that there just is no GameObject instantiated that I can tell. Nothing appears in the Hierarchy or the scene. I am certain that the code is spectacular as well as the setup in unity. I don’t believe I did anything drastic to interfere with my weapon.cs or bullet.cs. I only added basic propulsion parameter over @ fpscontroller.cs after sorting the weapon and bullet as well as the impact effects.

The instantiation did work at one point perfectly, now it mysteriously doesn’t didn’t touch anything as it was perfect.

Bullet.cs

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Bullet : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision ObjectHit)
    {
        if (ObjectHit.gameObject.CompareTag("Target"))
        {
            print("hit " + ObjectHit.gameObject.name + " !");
            
            CreateBulletImpactEffect(ObjectHit);
            
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
    
        if (ObjectHit.gameObject.CompareTag("Metal/Wall"))
        {
             print("Hit the wall");
            
            CreateBulletImpactEffect(ObjectHit);
        }
    
 
        if (ObjectHit.gameObject.CompareTag("Metal/Floor"))
        {
            print("Hit the ground");
            
            CreateBulletImpactEffect(ObjectHit);
        }
    }


    void CreateBulletImpactEffect(Collision ObjectHit)
    {
        ContactPoint contact = ObjectHit.contacts[0];

        GameObject ImpactVfx = Instantiate(GlobalReferences.Instance.BulletImpactEffectPrefab,
        contact.point, Quaternion.LookRotation(contact.normal)
        );

        ImpactVfx.transform.SetParent(ObjectHit.gameObject.transform);
    }
}

using UnityEngine;

public class BulletImpactEffect : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float bulletImpactPrefabLifetime = 3f;
    public AudioClip[] impactSounds;

    private AudioSource audioSource;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        audioSource = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
        StartCoroutine(DestroyAfterLifetime());
        PlayRandomImpactSound(); // Call the random impact sound method
    }

    private IEnumerator DestroyAfterLifetime()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(bulletImpactPrefabLifetime);
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }

    private void PlayRandomImpactSound()
    {
        if (impactSounds.Length == 6)
        {
            Debug.LogWarning("No impact sounds assigned.");
            return;
        }

        int randomIndex = Random.Range(0, impactSounds.Length);
        audioSource.clip = impactSounds[randomIndex];
        audioSource.Play();
    }
}

Look, I’ve decided to move on with the project and deal with it later. I got a few tricks up my sleeve but it involves creating new gun scripts and a project (push comes to shove).

honestly I am angry inside and restless just thinking what did i even do? it was working, now its not. haven’t touched or fiddled with any of the scripts after the successful testing.

I would really appreciate your time and insight on what might be the issue
