Instantiate Rotation Not Using GameObject's Rotation

To be more clear, here is how my Player gameobject is set up. I'm using the FirstPersonController.



My FPSController has a script that allows you to shoot from the gun, which takes in a BulletEmitter gameobject. I instantiate the bullet prefab at the bullet emitter's position and rotation using:

Instantiate(bullet, bulletEmitter.transform.position, bulletEmitter.transform.rotation) as GameObject;

However, the bullet is not firing at the bullet emitter's rotation, but it is using the emitter's position.

How can I get it to fire at the emitter's rotation, so that the bullet fires in the direction that the gun is pointing?


(Note: The script that controls the firing is on the FPSController. At first, I had it on the GunHeavy, and it worked fine. But I am turning this into a multiplayer game, and I can't add

Code (CSharp):

1.   if(!isLocalPlayer){
2.  
3.         return;
4.  
5.     }

Without adding another NetworkIdentity to the GunHeavy, but one is already on the FPSController, so the only way it's letting me is to put the gun firing script on the FPSController. (That was confusing, whoops)

Gun Shooting Script

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2.     using System.Collections.Generic;
3.     using UnityEngine;
4.     using UnityEngine.Networking;
5.  
6.     public class WeaponController : NetworkBehaviour {
7.  
8.         public GameObject bullet;
9.         public GameObject bulletEmitter;
10.         public float bulletSpeed;
11.  
12.         // Update is called once per frame
13.         void Update () {
14.  
15.             if (!isLocalPlayer)
16.             {
17.                 return;
18.             }
19.  
20.             if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
21.             {
22.                 // Create a bullet
23.                 GameObject shotBullet = Instantiate(bullet, bulletEmitter.transform.position, bulletEmitter.transform.rotation) as GameObject;
24.  
25.                 float randomColor = Random.Range(1,6);
26.  
27.                 if(randomColor == 1)
28.                 {
29.                     shotBullet.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.red;
30.                 } else
31.                 if(randomColor == 2)
32.                 {
33.                     shotBullet.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.blue;
34.                 } else
35.                 if(randomColor == 3)
36.                 {
37.                     shotBullet.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.green;
38.                 } else
39.                 if(randomColor == 4)
40.                 {
41.                     shotBullet.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.magenta;
42.                 } else
43.                 if(randomColor == 5)
44.                 {
45.                     shotBullet.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.yellow;
46.                 }
47.  
48.                 shotBullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(transform.forward * bulletSpeed * 100);
49.  
50.                 Destroy(shotBullet, 10f);
51.             }
52.  
53.         }
54.     }

 

I would think your problem lies in this line:

Code (CSharp):

1. shotBullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(transform.forward * bulletSpeed * 100);

You are using the direction of the transform that the script is on and not the direction of the bulletEmitter.
Changing it like this should help:

Code (CSharp):

1.  shotBullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(bulletEmitter.transform.forward * bulletSpeed * 100);

 

try bulletEmitter.transform.localRotation

 

Didn't even think about that, thanks! Works great.
