Deflecting bullets

Question

How would you go about deflecting bullets ? Isit changing the rigidbody's velocity to minus so it goes in the opposite direction it was shot at?

Any examples or links i can look at

You will need to re-calculate the transform.forward of the bullet. Look at this page: How to reflect a vector

When you hit a surface, you will have 2 information: transform.forward and Contact Points. Use these 2 information to calculate the reflected orientation of the bullet, then point the bullet to match that particular orientation.

heck the documentation before everything else. Just saw this in the Documentation Vector3.Reflect. No need for manual calculation, just use the function to calculate the reflected Vector.

Before you try to use it on a bullet, try to run some experiments on it with a raycast and debug.drawline()
