Changing Bullet direction

Question

Here is the problem. With this script the bullets travel along the y axis. So if the player turns, they go through him and continue along the y axis. How can I make the direction relative to the player?

var readyNow = true; var shot : Rigidbody; var waitTime = 3; var speed = 300;

function Update () {
if(Input.GetButton("Fire1") && readyNow == true){

Shoot();

}
}

function Shoot () {
print ("shoot!");
var projectile : Rigidbody = Instantiate(shot, transform.position + Vector3(10,-0.5,0), transform.rotation);
projectile.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3(0,1,0) * speed);

readyNow = false;
yield WaitForSeconds (0.25);
readyNow = true;
}

var readyNow = true; var shot : Transform; var waitTime = 3; var speed = 3000;

function Update () {
if(Input.GetButton("Fire1") && readyNow)
    {
    Shoot();
    }
}

function Shoot () 
{
print ("shoot!");

projectile = Instantiate(shot, transform.position + Vector3(10,-0.5,0), transform.rotation);
projectile.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * speed);
readyNow = false;
yield WaitForSeconds (0.25);
readyNow = true;
}

This is what I would have done. I add force to the projectile form the players transform.forward. So the bullet will(should) allways shoot in the forward faceing direction of the player.

If that dose not work try the script now. It should work.

Still not working...something is probably wrong my end. Anyway, can you use the x axis ins$$anonymous$$d (transform.right)? Because I fixed somthing else, which caused it to go in the wrong direction.
