fps game problems

Minion54847 · March 21, 2011, 11:29am

I have made a fps game using the things the come with the fps tutorial and their are five things wrong with my game.

Whenever I shoot the ground the bullets ricochet back and hit me.
My rockets do not kill the robots whenever I shoot them.
My muzzel flash does not stay in front of my barrel when I look up or down, but it stays in place when I look left or right.
Robots rockets do not make my health bar go down but they can kill me.
Robots have to take another step closer before shooting off the next rocket.

Any way I can fix these problems?

The bullet or rocket it a prefab change the prefab to be a trigger than add the code ontriggerenter(put the name of the bullet or rocket here) then add the variable used for health - the amount of damage you want it to do i suggest you make this a variable so it can be tweaked

The fps tutorial is a bad tutorial for amateurs users in Unity3d. Create your own fps from scratch.!!!

1- Insert a first person controller
2- Learn raycasting
3- Learn artificial intelligence

Is the best way to start in a programming language!!! Copying tutorials never learn. Encourage!!
