2D ranged shooting problems...

hello guys, I just started my journey on game development like weeks ago and I been solving every problem I come up to. I made a new project where I have to shoot square sprite prefabs to triangle enemies that spawn randomly in the map.

I was able to make the enemy system, player movement, health and score text and wanted to get started on the shooting part. I followed balckthornprod or whatever his name is’s tutorial and I get all of it. It works for him but it didn’t for me. The bullet shoots but it goes on a different direction. It’s supposed to shoot at the mouse direction. The bullet also changes direction when I move the mouse. I don’t have my computer right now but I’ll show it later.

I also have a video but it says it’s too large, sorry I just found out about unity forums..

 

I think we might need to take a look at your shooting script and especially the bullet script.

So it seems, you are calling the direction of the bullet in an update function. If the bullet should have a constant velocity, you only need to set it one time. Which exactly do you mean by "different direction"? Does it travel in the opposite direction?
