Instantiated Prefabs Spawning at Odd Angles

Questions & Answers

I am trying to create a weapon in a project I’m working on, and it’s mostly successful except for one issue that’s been plaguing me for days now. The prefabs that are instantiated by my weapon script are spawning side ways, not as in they are being fired side ways, but the orientation of the prefab itself is wrong.71099-untitled.jpg

Here’s the weapon code:

 // defines the projectile prefab
	public GameObject Projectile;
    // defines the point at which the prefab is instantiated
	public Transform MuzzlePoint;
    // creates a short delay between shots
    public float timeBetweenShots = 0.3333f;
    private float timestamp;

	void Update ()
    {
		if (Time.time >= timestamp &&(Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1")) )
		{
            Instantiate(Projectile, MuzzlePoint.position, MuzzlePoint.rotation);
            timestamp = Time.time + timeBetweenShots;
		}
	}

Here’s the code for the projectile:

public float thrust;
	public GameObject ExplosionPrefab;
    public GameObject FirePrefab;
    public GameObject BloodExplosion;

	void Start () 
	{
		GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = gameObject.transform.forward * thrust;
	}

	void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.GetComponent<DmgHandler>() != null)
        {
            Instantiate(BloodExplosion, gameObject.transform.position, gameObject.transform.rotation);
            collision.gameObject.GetComponent<DmgHandler>().ApplyDamage(37);
        }
        else
        {
            Instantiate(ExplosionPrefab, gameObject.transform.position, gameObject.transform.rotation);
            Instantiate(FirePrefab, gameObject.transform.position, gameObject.transform.rotation);
        }
        Destroy(gameObject);
	}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I guess your muzzle point isnt a child of your player/weapon and therefore doesn’t head in the same direction as your player is facing.

void Update ()
     {
         if (Time.time >= timestamp &&(Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1")) )
         {
             Instantiate(Projectile, MuzzlePoint.position, transform.rotation);
             timestamp = Time.time + timeBetweenShots;
         }
     }
