Instantiate rotation not working

Code (CSharp):

1. Rigidbody p = Instantiate(AssaultRifleProjectile, bulletSpawn.position, spread);
2.         p.velocity = transform.forward * AssaultRifleProjectileSpeed;

so I have it when I press left click it Instantiates a bullet. I figured out a way to add randomized spread but when I put it into the Instantiate rotation it doesn't do any thing. I have tried doing it with set numbers and nothing still happens. it always spawns facing completely forward no matter what value I put in for the rotation. thx

 

Replace your AssaultRifleProjectile with a prefab made out of a cube (and an RB)... does that work?

If so maybe you have an animation on the real projectile and it's resetting the rotation.

Or something else is doing it, such as a script on the projectile.

 

i do have a script on the projectile that deletes it when it comes into contact with another object. ill try the cube thing.

 

How are you calculating the spread? You did not share that code which is most likely to be causing the problem.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. nextShotSpread = Random.Range(-AssaultRifleSpread, AssaultRifleSpread);
2.         spread = (bulletSpawn.transform.rotation.x, (bulletSpawn.transform.rotation.y + nextShotSpread), bulletSpawn.tranform.rotation.z);

here's my scuffed code.
it also didn't work when I entered a fixed quaternion

 

Code (CSharp):

1. spread = (bulletSpawn.transform.rotation.x, (bulletSpawn.transform.rotation.y + nextShotSpread), bulletSpawn.tranform.rotation.z);

Is this as-written? That's not valid C# code and should be throwing an error*.

You are misunderstanding the nature of quaternions. Quaternions are not the same thing as Euler angles, in which x, y, and z correspond to a rotation about the x, y, and z axis. It is not suggested to directly manipulate quaternions. Instead, create your rotation by using a utility method like Quaternion.Euler.

*Unless you're on C#7 and defining a tuple, I suppose.
