Is there a script out there that actully works for shooting bullets?

Question

I am trying to make my guns fire bullets you know like guns do XD but the script that I am using dosnt work and I was wondering if anyone could help me fix it. I am using the newest version of Unity. code I have now:

var projectile : Rigidbody;

var initialSpeed = 20.0;

function Fire () {

var instantiatedProjectile : Rigidbody = Instantiate (projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);

instantiatedProjectile.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3 (0, 0, initialSpeed));

Physics.IgnoreCollision(instantiatedProjectile.collider, transform.root.collider); }

function Update () { if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) { Fire(); } }

can someone please help solve this problem soon thank you for you help.

Ok the script works now its the one I posted but now can someone help me make the bullets disappear after a time and show me how to attach a particle effect to it that folows the bullet along its path. Right now my attached particle system shows up but doesn't stay with the bullet as it runs its course it just stays in the same spot it spawned. All help is appreciated thank you.

var lifeTime = 2.0;

function Awake ()

Destroy(gameObject,lifeTime);

This will detroy the object the script is attatched to in 2 seconds.

Not shure why you use TransformDirection, but you could try this (or maybe better use Rigidbody.AddForce):

instantiatedProjectile.velocity = Vector3 (0, 0, initialSpeed);

TransformDirection is correct. What you have fires the bullet North at all times. TransformDirection twists (0,0,initspeed) around to the direction the player is facing.
