Hi everyone,
I know many many many people have asked this, but none of the answers really relate to my code (I don’t think so anyways) so I have to ask again…
So, my issue is that my player can shoot a bullet (the projectile prefab) but, it only shoots to the right and I don’t know how to change it to make it go left and right… yes, I am a complete noob at this.

But here is my code:

(This is the ProjectilePrefab script):

public float speed = 10.0f;
private GameManager gameManager;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        gameManager = GameObject.Find("GameManager").GetComponent<GameManager>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        // Makes the projectile move to the right at the set speed.
        // Yea, I feel like this need to be changed to not be directed to the right lol
        transform.Translate(speed * Time.deltaTime * Vector2.right);
    }

(and this is the PlayerMovement script):

        // Shooting bullets
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {   // Instantiate makes the projectile spawn at the player's position.
            Instantiate(projectilePrefab, new Vector3(transform.position.x + 1, transform.position.y), projectilePrefab.transform.rotation);
        }

I really hope someone can help me, thank you guys so muchh!!!
