Bullets Could Inherit Ship's Velocity

[antfarmar]

Problem

• Bullets currently don't inherit the ship's velocity when fired.
• With a thrust powerup, the ship is almost as fast as bullets.
• Hence, bullets barely escape the ship's nozzle.
• Velocity inheritance would also be more physically realistic.

  Possible Fixes

• Does the Rigidbody API have any simple functions for this?

Add the velocity of the rigidbody to the bullet. And get rid of those comments I placed there while you are at it :)

Bullet().Fire(nozzle.position, nozzle.rotation, direction * velocity + rb.velocity);

Oh yeah, vector addition. Who knew rigidbodies had a velocity property? :laughing: I also renamed the variables to distinguish scalars from vectors.

Commit a56a4ed

void FireBullet(Vector3 direction, float speedScalar = bulletSpeed)
{
        direction = (direction * speedScalar) + rbody.velocity;
        Bullet().Fire(nozzle.position, nozzle.rotation, direction);
}

Could probably also just collapse those 2 parameters to simply velocity and have the caller do the math.
