Shooting script

Unity Engine

My bullet goes out of the side of my gun instead of the barrel.

static var ammo = 100;
static var maxAmmo = 100;
var key : String = “mouse 0”;
var bullet : Rigidbody;
var speed : float = 1000;

function Update () {
if(Input.GetKeyDown(key)){
if(ammo > 0){
shoot();
}
}
}
function shoot(){
var bullet1 : Rigidbody = Instantiate(bullet, transform.position, transform.rotation);
bullet1.AddForce(transform.forward * speed);
ammo --;
}
function OnGUI(){
GUI.Label(Rect(10, 10, 500, 500), “”+ammo);
}

Is the bullet shooting sideways, or is it just not lined up with the barrel?

It’s possible that your bullet model is facing the right (down the x axis) instead of forward (down the z axis), in which case you’ll want to add force in the direction of transform.right or -transform.right.

It’s also possible that the object that’s creating the bullet is facing the right, in which case you’ll want to fix the rotation of the bullet inside your instantiate function (or after it).

Either way, the problem is definitely in your Shoot() function. If you can’t get it figured out, give me some more info and I’ll try to help.

The -transform.right worked. Thanks.
