Bullet flies too slow? wtf!

Hi,

i try a little shooting android-game (3D), where the player stands on a fixed position and stuff appears, which the player should tap on to shoot at. I instantiate a bullet at my bullet-spawner's position, when the player taps on the screen, and get the direction to shoot to:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Input.touchCount > 0) {
2.              if (Input.GetTouch (0).phase == TouchPhase.Began) {
3.                 Ray r = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.GetTouch(0).position);
4.                 Debug.DrawRay(r.origin, r.direction * 10, Color.cyan);
5.  
6.                 GameObject bullet = Instantiate (bulletPrefab, shotSpawner.transform.position, Quaternion.identity)as GameObject;
7.                 bullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody> ().velocity = r.direction * bulletSpeed;
8.              }
9.          }

My problem is, that even when i set bulletSpeed to 50000f, the bullet flies way too slow .. how can i solve this?

 

Can you show the bullet gameobject inspector?

It seams like you have a lot of drag

 

Maybe the magnitude of r is too small. Anyways you're doing it wrong, if you want the bullets to fly exactly at bulletSpeed, you must normalize r before the multiplication, like this: .velocity = r.normalized*bulletSpeed.

 

I dont see anithing strange. It will be a coding error.
Btw it will be a good idea to activate interpolation to the rigidbody to make the movement smoother.

 

I dont't know whats is going on, but the next day I opened unity and run the game, the bullets fly with lightspeed.. i normalized it anyway and not they go fast.. .but .. now I have a other problem with this:

there are walls and boxed on my playground and when the bullet collides with something, it instantiates a little explosion-gameobject and destroys itself. now the bullets fly so fast, that if a bullet collides with a wall, the instantiated explosion is beeing instantiated behind the wall.. like the script, which instantiates the explosion is beeing executed when the bullet's position would be behind the wall..

when i reduce the bullet-speed, the explosion is where it should be, on the surface of the wall.. but it looks not good because it flies to slow.
