@James Thwaites oh yeah and he isnt overcomplicating the script he is making it download friendly and adding extra bools that u would not need . for example if u want a object to go to point a from the available point a and b then u will require the tutorial for a but other people would want to go to b would need a tutorial for b he is making is code compatiable for both a and b ok just realised i typed too much here lol

[@sonoakneely9574]

theres only 2 parts

[@non-shockingtopics7563]

I know it's been a while since this video came out so apologies if you've already fixed/moved on from this in the time since, but I noticed some problems with the way your spread is calculated and have personally fixed them to share with you and anyone passing by. 1. Your spread calculates purely based on the target point's position, it doesn't get bigger the further away it is, meaning stuff like shotguns would be super OP and accurate at very far distances (which is fine if this was intended, but it didn't work for my project). I fixed this by always setting the target point to a constant position in front of the gun muzzle (5 in my case). Use this: Vector3 targetPoint = ray.GetPoint(5f); Instead of the raycast if else block to determine the hit point. 2. Your spread also calculates in only the x and y directions, meaning if I face the x direction there is no horizontal bullet movement because there's no z spread. Just add another Random.Range for the z direction in directionWithSpread for this to be solved: float x = Random.Range(-spread, spread); float y = Random.Range(-spread, spread); float z = Random.Range(-spread, spread); directionWithSpread = directionWithoutSpread + new Vector3(x, y, z); Hope this helps someone!

[@mutatedsun6047]

Thanks my dude

[@stephenmurya]

Wow this really helped fixed some issues I was having with the code. I'm trying to implement this on a gun mounted on a car (sort of how a tank would function.) The bullet instantiates at the gun tip, but it goes in the direction the car is facing, instead of where the gun is facing. Could you help me out with it?

[@あれくす]

@@stephenmurya use the gun's transform forward as the forward direction for the projectile? apparently you are using the vehicles transform forward direction...

[@orangeplumbob]

To add to this instead of giving the targetPoint a hard number, give it a variable like spreadDistance so that each gun could have a different spread difference. A shotgun with a close distance, where a sniper would have a farther distance.

[@Eastyoffutt]

It made me bullets not shoot through the center of the screen though

[@MrHerrJonsson]

Great tutorial mate and you solved my greatest issue, which is to make the projectile travel towards the center of the screen. Much appreciated!

[@davegamedevelopment]

Yeah indeed, that's a bit tricky :D Glad I could help you! :D

[@SacWebDeveloper]

Awesome video, but one little thing. A shotgun does not shoot multiple bullets per trigger press, it shoots a shotgun shell which spreads little tiny balls all over the place. I think you don't need to keep multiplying and dividing the number, but just spawn that many each time you shoot.

[@nikhilchhetri900]

[@davegamedevelopment]

[@sergibonell5400]

I tried implementing this but I found a problem, if the Raycast hit is behind the firing point (or really close to it) the bullet won't shoot forward, and will shoot sideways instead. Do you know how could I fix this? I've been thinking about itbut I have no idea.

New to Unity and really enjoyed this tutorial. Everything is working great except my muzzle flash will start at the attack point but if my character is moving or if I'm looking around the muzzle flash will stay at the point where it was created. I've been working on it for a few hours to try and get the muzzle flash to move with the attack point but no matter what it will only stay at the point it was created. Any possible solutions I should try to explore?

[@JustMatt221-w6x]

Solved my own issue. In case anyone else gets this, you need to add a fourth argument to Instantiate so that the muzzle flash that is created will transform with the attack point.

[@shark_byte_clips]

Great lesson, thanks! I want to ask how you can make the whistle of a flying physical bullet? I tried to make the bullet an audio source, but the whistle of the bullet is extremely unstable for some reason

[@davegamedevelopment]

Seems like Unity can't handle the audio stuff on such fast objects. You could make an audio manager that always checks if a bullet entered a certain range around the player (Physics.CheckSphere) and if so you could just instantiate your bullet sound at the position where it entered the players "hear" range :D I'm not sure how that's going to sound but I guess it's worth a try. :D

[@lindal93]

@@davegamedevelopment Great idea, thanks for the advice, I'll try to implement it!

[@lindal93]

@@davegamedevelopment As far as I understand, the checkSphere deals with object colliders. But what if the object does not have a collider? My bullet has only raycast beams, how then will the sphere check know that the bullet has crossed with it?
