Shoot direction

I use a script where the object is flying straight ahead and moving to using the “Axes”. How do I make object flew where I click my mouse? I use this script:

public Rigidbody bullet;
public float power = 1500f;
public float moveSpeed = 2f;
public float range = 1f;

private float distance;

void Update () {

float h = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed;
float v = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed;
transform.Translate(h, v, 0);


if(Input.GetButtonUp("Fire1"))
{

Rigidbody instance = Instantiate(bullet, transform.position, transform.rotation)as Rigidbody;
Vector3 fwd = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
instance.AddForce(fwd * power);

}
	
}

}

(I can’t use Code Formatting… )

If you want the bullet to fly from the location it is created (the transform of the player?), to the point in space where the mouse was clicked, you could try the code below.

It should raycast into the scene from where the mouse is clicked. Then the fwd vector finds out the direction from its current location to the click.

	if(Input.GetButtonUp("Fire1"))
	{
		Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
		RaycastHit hit;
		
		Physics.Raycast( ray, out hit, Mathf.infinity );

		Rigidbody instance = Instantiate(bullet, transform.position, transform.rotation) as Rigidbody;
		Vector3 fwd = hit.point - transform.position;
		instance.AddForce(fwd * power);
		
	}
