Question by Lordships · Mar 20, 2011 at 10:01 PM · projectilefirst-person-controller

Project at correct angle using First Person controller

I am trying to continuously fire an object in the direction and angle the camera is facing. Currently it is firing but when I look up or down it doesn't fire in the proper angle.

Bellow is my code:

Code from Character.js

var projectile : Rigidbody;

/** exicutes continuously Creates an invisible bullets used to detect object hovers / function Update(){ var clone : Rigidbody; clone = Instantiate(projectile, transform.Find("Main Camera").position, transform.Find("Main Camera").rotation); // Give the cloned object an initial velocity along the current // object's Z axis clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward 20);

}

Code from tracer.js:

var timeUp=false;

function Update () { if(timeUp){ //Debug.Log("Detected Time Elapse"); // Destroy the projectile Destroy (gameObject); } }

function Start(){ StopWatch(.2); }

function StopWatch (time:float) { yield WaitForSeconds (time); timeUp=true; }

function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision) { Debug.Log(collision); if(collision.transform.name != "Character"){ Debug.Log("Detected Collision Test"); //Destroy the projectile Destroy (gameObject); }else{ Debug.Log("Detected Collision Test"); } }

I had to simply move the

clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward * 20);

to the update function inside of the tracer script.
