Ok so I have this object that is the player, it has four tubes on the sides(See Pictures), and I want to create bullets that go through the tubes and out, but my player object is also rotating so the tubes are constantly moving around.
Questions:
So I am trying to figure out how to go about creating a bullet that will rotate with the player until it fires out of the tube, then it goes in a straight line.
Or
Create a bullet at the end of the tube right as it lines up with the grid, and have it fire out in a straight line…(I’m Leaning Toward This Option, But I don’t know how to go about the coding for it…)
Please If you can help, Please Do So!!
Thanks

You are going to want to create an empty GameObject for each place that should shoot a bullet. You also need to make sure you have the bullet saved in your asset folder so that it can be used. Here is a very simple script to be put on the shoot points.
public GameObject bulletPrefab; //your bullet must have a Rigidbody attached to it
public float bulletVelocity; //this is how fast your bullet will travel
void Update () {
// checks if the left mouse button has been pressed
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
{
//intantiates the bullet at the shootPoint's position and rotation
Instantiate(bulletPrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
//grabs the Rigidbody from the bullet (the allow for physics to be applied to the GameObject)
Rigidbody rb = bulletPrefab.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
//applies a forward force to the rigidbody, shootig it forward
rb.AddForce(transform.forward * bulletVelocity * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
Make sure not to just copy/paste, but look up some of the terms used within the code to help you learn.
