I'm making a top down 3d shooter and I'm currently working on the bullet system. I'm trying to just make the bullet move forward in the current direction the player is facing when the bullet is shot. This is what I have so far but it doesn't work as the bullet goes straight into the ground :/ any ideas?

u'r telling the bullet to move forwards.

forwards for the bullet is apparantly down. (Or at least, thats my assumption)

So what how is it going is suggesting is that you rotate it by 90 degrees in whatever axis is needed to make it point the right direction.

thank you, giving the bullet the same rotation as the player object made it work
