if your character has blue axis pointing forward, then can add force with something like

rb.AddForce(-transform.forward*amount,ForceMode.Impulse);

the code worked but not in thw way i wanted all it did was push me on the z axis but i wanted to be able to shoot me back in whatever direction i was facing, e.g if i looked down it would shoot me up.

thanks anyway.
