How to Instantiate a object once a second

Unity Engine
1 
 var target : Transform;
var prefabBullet : Rigidbody;
var shootForce;
var range = 10;
var LastFired = 0.0;

function Update () {




	
if((Time.time > LastFired +1.0)  (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, target.position) < range))
	{
		Instantiate(prefabBullet, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
		prefabBullet.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * shootForce);
	}
}

I want the turret to shoot once a second, help :frowning:

var shootInterval = 1.0;

function Start () {
	InvokeRepeating("Shoot", shootInterval, shootInterval);
}

function Shoot () {
	// do shooty stuff here
}

Thanks!, Will try it out

It works!, Thanks alot, the only problem is, For some reason there is no force behind the bullet, it just falls out of the cannon

var shootInterval = 0.5;
var range = 10;
var shootForce = 50;
var prefabBullet : Rigidbody;
var target : Transform;


function Start () {
	InvokeRepeating("Shoot", shootInterval, shootInterval);
}

function Shoot () 
	{
	if((Vector3.Distance(transform.position, target.position) < range))
		{
			Instantiate(prefabBullet, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
			prefabBullet.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * shootForce);
		}
	}

Help?

Use ForceMode.Impulse, or .VelocityChange.

I can’t find anythin on VelocityChange, or Mode.Impulse, Can you give me a example on how it works?, i’m still new to this

7

Look up AddForce in the docs.

SOrry, i’m not finding anything, Can you give me a example?

Unity - Scripting API: Rigidbody.AddForce You can see that ForceMode.Force is the default, so add ForceMode.Impulse instead.

var booon = Instantiate(LaserBullet, transform.Find(“LaserBulletSpawnPoint”).transform.position, Quaternion.identity);

booon.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * 4500);
This will shoot the bullet out quite fast from a “LaserBulletSpawnPoint”
