Barbarian Blaster - Damaging Enemies Lesson

[Jared_Good]

So I followed the lesson and changing from basis.z to global_transform.basis.z did nothing to help the shot being off.

1. extends Node3D

• @export var projectile: PackedScene
• var enemy_path: Path3D
• @onready var turret_top: MeshInstance3D = $TurretBase/TurretTop
• func _physics_process(_delta: float) → void:

2. var enemy = enemy_path.get_children().back()
3. look_at(enemy.global_position, Vector3.UP, true)

• func _on_shot_timer_timeout() → void:

4. var shot = projectile.instantiate()
5. add_child(shot)
6. shot.global_position = turret_top.global_position
7. shot.direction = global_transform.basis.z

just a heads up using 4.2.1

saw another post about this same lesson but instead of using the basis they used direction_to tried that shot is still off.

I figured it out. I had a mistake in the projectile and it was translating instead of setting the global position.
