Resolved Issues with AddForce on negative x-Axis

Hi,

Im fairly new to Unity but not to Programming. I have some issues with AddForce on a 3d Rigidbody

Im playing around with a simple 3d Game where you control a stationary canon in the middle. with the left and right keys you can rotate the canon on the global z-axis (local y-axis). if the canon is not moved it starts shooting. (Thats where i got so far so no enemies are implemented yet)

Currently everything works as it should except for some (NOT ALL!!) rotations towards the negative x-axis (global). When i log the vector it outputs the correct values but it seems like the x coordinates are being ignored. That means the bullets go straight up or down according to the y value.

For the bullet Rigidbody i turned off gravity and drag in case that could be an issue.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class PlayerScript : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public GameObject bullet;
8.     public Transform bulletSpawn;
9.     public float shootRate = 0f;
10.     public float shootForce = 0f;
11.     private float shootRateTimeStamp = 0f;
12.  
13.     // Start is called before the first frame update
14.     void Start()
15.     {
16.      
17.     }
18.  
19.     void shoot()
20.     {
21.         GameObject bulletClone = Instantiate(bullet);
22.         bulletClone.transform.position = bulletSpawn.position;
23.  
24.         Debug.Log(transform.forward * shootForce);
25.         bulletClone.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(transform.forward * shootForce);
26.     }
27.  
28.     // Update is called once per frame
29.     void Update()
30.     {
31.         if (!Input.anyKey)
32.         {
33.             if (Time.time > shootRateTimeStamp)
34.             {
35.                 shoot();
36.                 shootRateTimeStamp = Time.time + shootRate;
37.             }
38.         }
39.  
40.         if (Input.GetKey("left"))
41.             transform.Rotate(0, -10, 0);
42.         if (Input.GetKey("right"))
43.             transform.Rotate(0, 10, 0);
44.     }
45. }

Thanks in advance,
Jay

 

Well, i solved it! There was a problem with collision between the bullet and the canon. I Turned off collision for the barrel of the canon since i dont need that anyways and no it works. still i dont get why only some negative x values have this issue. Any ideas?
