Hello everyone

I’m making a 2D multiplayer racing game. And I want upon a keystroke to instantiate a object behind my current position.

I tried to use my current position while updating the y value to y - 1. It dosen’t work on turns and many other scenarios due to rotation.

How can I instantiate an object behind my current position in respect to rotation? Thanks in advance!

If you want to instantiate at the back with respect to object rotation, you should use transform.up or transform.right instead of subtracting values individually from y or x component.

    Vector3 newPos = transform.position -  transform.up;
    Instantiate(objToInstantiate, newPos, Quaternion.identity);
