Making a shotgun?

Questions & Answers
1

I’ve looked at other answers and they didn’t really work for me. This one works with spawning the right amount of raycast but when I try to make it random it shots in a different place than where I am currently pointing at. D: Any help?

Shooting Code:

function Shoot(){   
    //var direction = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
    var direction : Vector3;
    var angle = 1.0;
    direction = new Vector3(Mathf.Cos(angle), Mathf.Sin(angle), 0f);
    var cam : Transform = Camera.main.transform;
    var ray = new Ray(cam.position, cam.forward);
    var hit : RaycastHit;
    var trf = transform; // a little optimization
    var hitRotation = transform.position;
    
    audio.PlayOneShot(shotSound); // play the shot sound...
    MuzzleFlashOn();
    
    for (var i = 0; i < shotgunPellets; i++){ //For each pellet create a random origin and fire
    
    var randomX : float = Random.Range(-0.01, 5.5);
    var randomY : float = Random.Range(-0.01, 5.5);
    hitRotation.y = randomY;
    hitRotation.x = randomX;
               
        if(Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, RayCastDist)){
        //if(Physics.Raycast(ray.origin, hitRotation, hit, RayCastDist)) Not Working Code{

        var rot = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, hit.normal);
     
            if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "Box"){
                if (sparksPrefab) Instantiate(sparksPrefab, hit.point, rot); 
                hit.rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition(force * transform.forward , hit.point);
                hit.collider.SendMessageUpwards("ApplyDamage", 5.0);
                //Instantiate(bulletHole, hit.point, rot);
        }
            if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "Enemy"){
                if (sparksPrefab) Instantiate(sparksPrefab, hit.point, rot);
                hit.collider.SendMessageUpwards("LoseHealth", 5.0);
        } 
            if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "Target"){
                hit.rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition(force * transform.forward , hit.point);
                hit.rigidbody.isKinematic = false;
                hit.rigidbody.useGravity = true;
                if (sparksPrefab) Instantiate(sparksPrefab, hit.point, rot); 
            } else {            
            if (sparksPrefab) Instantiate(sparksPrefab, hit.point, rot);
        }
        ChangeWep = false;
        SendMessageUpwards("Recoil");
        ChangeWep = true;    
        }
    }
    ThisGun.SendMessage("Lock");
    shootEnabled = false;
    yield WaitForSeconds(shotInterval);
    shootEnabled = true;
    ThisGun.SendMessage("Unlock");
}

The problem lies in your generation of the random ray direction.
You should pass the direction as a normalized vector, not a euler angles rotation.

    	var ray : Ray;
		var hit : RaycastHit;
		var tempVec : Vector3;
		for (var i : int = 0; i < shots; i++) {
			// Slerp camera forward direction towards a random direction, 0.05f is the spread, 0 means no spread, 1 means 180 degrees spread.
			tempVec = Vector3.Slerp(Camera.main.transform.forward, Random.onUnitSphere, 0.05f);
			ray = new Ray(Camera.main.transform.position, tempVec);
			if (Physics.Raycast(ray, hit, 100f)) {
				// Do your hit stuff here
				GameObject.Instantiate(explosion, hit.point, Quaternion.identity);
			}
		}
