i don't understand Vector3.forward correctly on camera

Hi, I am trying to get a raycast from the camera to forward, but it’s not working correclty, it’s pointing forward in the world space and not in camera local position. I really don’t know what to say more about this problem, but I’ll leave you the scripts for the camera and the one I’m trying to raycast from. Oh, and I’m not using a regular character controller, I’m using a rigidbody and also using a different script for the camera.
this is the script where I’m trying to raycast:

#pragma strict
var range : float;

var bombs : int = 1;
var bomb : Transform;

function Update () 
{
	Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, Vector3.forward * range, Color.red);
	
	if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && bombs >=1)
	{
		var Hit : RaycastHit;
		if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.forward , Hit, range))
		{
			if(Hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "Ground")
			{
			Debug.Log ("Found Ground");
			var bomb : Transform = Instantiate (bomb, Hit.collider.gameObject.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
			}
		}
	}
}

And here is the camera script:

#pragma strict

var lookSensivity : float = 5;
@HideInInspector
var yRotation : float;
@HideInInspector
var xRotation : float;
@HideInInspector
var currentYRotation : float;
@HideInInspector
var currentXRotation : float;
@HideInInspector
var yRotationV : float;
@HideInInspector
var xRotationV : float;
var lookSmoothDamp : float = 0.1;

function Start () {
	Screen.lockCursor = true;
}

function Update () 
{
	yRotation += Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * lookSensivity;
	xRotation -= Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * lookSensivity;
	
	xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90, 90);
	
	currentXRotation = Mathf.SmoothDamp(currentXRotation, xRotation, xRotationV, lookSmoothDamp);
	currentYRotation = Mathf.SmoothDamp(currentYRotation, yRotation, yRotationV, lookSmoothDamp);
	
	transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(currentXRotation, currentYRotation, 0);
	
	if (Input.GetButtonDown("Esc"))
	Screen.lockCursor = false;
	if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
	Screen.lockCursor = true;

}

Vector3.forward is the same as Vector3(0,0,1), its just an abreviation. BUT, when you use transform.forward, it takes the direction of the local Z-axis on the object. More importantly, try to print values when you can, or when things aren’t working as expected. Like: print(Vector3.forward). Always use these tests to find out where things are going wrong.
