Projectile following where controller is pointing.

Hello!

Inside Update() on the player I have this:

Code (CSharp):

1.         if (GvrController.ClickButton && Time.time > nextFire) {
2.  
3.             nextFire = Time.time + fireRate;
4.  
5.             GameObject bullet = Instantiate (Resources.Load ("Bullet", typeof(GameObject)),gun.transform.position, gun.transform.rotation, gun.transform) as GameObject;
6.             //set bullets parent **maybe this is costly in terms of performance?**
7.             //bullet.transform.SetParent(gun.transform);
8.             Rigidbody rb = bullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
9.  
10.  
11.  
12.             Vector3 controllerDirection = GvrController.Orientation * Vector3.forward;
13.  
14.             //rb.AddExplosionForce (controllerDirection, gun.transform.position);
15.  
16.             //only add force ONCE!  not every Update!
17.  
18.             //original
19.             rb.AddForce (controllerDirection * laserSpeed);
20.  
21.             //play sound and animation
22.  
23.             //destroy the bullet after 1 second
24.             Destroy (bullet, 2);
25.         }

It shoots the object from the controller, but the object continues to follow where the controller is pointing. Any idea what could be wrong? I thought it would have something to do with AddForce adding force over and over in the direction the controller is pointing, but I'm not sure.

 

That was it! Thank you very much!

So this essentially makes it where the bullet is instantiated in the root right?
