Object spawn rotation

Questions & Answers

Hi so i have a spawn script for a bullet. And. When it spawns, it doesnt spawn with the same rotation as the object the it spawns from.

Could some tell me what to do?

Heres my code

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SpawnProjectile : MonoBehaviour {

public GameObject projectile;

public float ROF = 0.0f;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

	if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0) & ROF >= 10.0f) {
		
		Instantiate (projectile, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
		ROF = 0.0f;
	}

	if (ROF < 10.0f) {
		ROF += 0.1f;
	}
}

}

That is because Quaternion.identity is a pre-made Quaternion witn no rotation (0,0,0). I would assume you can see when you execute that the projectile has this rotation.

You already did the right thing by using transform.position when Instantiating projectile.

You want to pass transform.rotation from the parent object you mention. Assuming this MonoBehaviour is attached to it you can get that my referencing ether transform.rotation, this.transform.rotation or GetComponent<Transform>().rotation.

Excuse me if there are errors in this, i haven’t used Unity for a little while.

Hello rob5300

I am trying to get that running on a timer for an enemy but it doesnt sem to work.
can you help me out?
This is the script:

public GameObject projectile;
public float ROF = 0.0f;
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{

}


    public float targetTime = 0.1f;

    void Update()
    {

        targetTime -= Time.deltaTime;

        if (targetTime <= 0.0f)
        {
            timerEnded();
        }

    }

    void timerEnded()
    {
        Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
        ROF = 0.0f;

        if (ROF < 10.0f)
        {
            ROF += 0.1f;
            //do your stuff here.
        }
        // Update is called once per frame
    }
