change to raycast shooting instead of rigidbody shooting

Questions & Answers

I have two scripts; on is a shooting script and the other is bullet damage. The shooting script at the moment shoots rigidbody bullets. Is there a way I can change the shooting script to shoot raycast bullets instead of rigidbody bullets and then change the damage script to accommodate the raycast bullets?

shooting script:

RequireComponent(AudioSource);
var audioSource: AudioSource;
 var Projectile : Rigidbody;
 var ProjectileSpeed : int = 10;
 var FireRate : float = 10;  // The number of bullets fired per second
 var lastfired : float;      // The value of Time.time at the last firing moment
 var gunshot : AudioClip;
 var muzzleflash :Transform;



 function Start() {
	audioSource = GetComponent.<AudioSource>();
}

 function Update ()
 {

       if (Input.GetAxis("Fire1")>0f)
     {
         if (Time.time - lastfired > 1 / FireRate)
         {
             lastfired = Time.time;
             var clone : Rigidbody;
             clone = Instantiate(Projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
             clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward * ProjectileSpeed);
             audioSource.PlayOneShot(gunshot, 0.7F);
             Instantiate (muzzleflash,transform.position,transform.rotation);
         }
     }

      
          
     }

bullet damage script:

var dmg:float = 20;
 
 function OnTriggerEnter(hit:Collider){
 if(hit.tag == "Player"){
 hit.transform.SendMessage("Damage",dmg);
 }
 
 }

you can do away with the bulletDamage script if you use rayCast. This is C#. I don’t know JS but should be close enough to adapt to Java

    Ray bulletRay;
        	RaycastHit rayHit;
        	public int dist = 45; //distance ray/bullet travel
    public float lastfired;
Update () {
    if (Input.GetAxis("Fire1")>0f)
          {
              if (Time.time - lastfired > 1 / FireRate)
              {
                  lastfired = Time.time;
        		bulletRay = new Ray(transform.position, transform.forward*dist);
        		Debug.DrawRay (transform.position, transform.forward*dist, Color.yellow);
        		if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.forward, out rayHit,dist))
        		{
    
        			if(rayHit.transform.gameObject.tag == ("Player")) 
        				hit.transform.SendMessage("Damage",dmg);
        	}
        }
        }
