football script

Hi, I just tested that function where the ball sees the player as it's parent. I don't understand much about root and parent in unity javascript. Do you know how to unparent the ball and have it shoot in the direction the player is facing?

Thanks,

name your object “football”, drop it into a parent (the player object), and put this in the parent objects script.

		//lookup the football by child's name
		GameObject fb = transform.Find ("football").gameObject;

		// unparent the football
		fb.transform.parent = null;

		//add a rigidbody;
		Rigidbody r = fb.AddComponent<Rigidbody> ();

		//add forse to the football's rigidbody in a direction
		r.AddForce(transform.forward*50);
