Question

Hi,

I am new to unity and c#, I would like to know weather or not it is possible to get a script like this to actually work properly :)

    using UnityEngine;
    using System.Collections;

    public class EnemyAI : MonoBehaviour {
    public GameObject objPlayer;
    public GameObject projectile;


    void Start () {

      objPlayer = (GameObject) GameObject.FindWithTag ("Player");

    }


    void Update () {
        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) {         
           GameObject clone;
           clone = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation) as GameObject;
           clone.transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward * 10);
           projectile.transform.position = objPlayer.transform.position;
           }    
    }
}

It looks like you are trying to shoot straight forward from you character.

clone.transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward * 10)

Multiplying by 10 changes the magnitude / length of the vector, but doesn't change the direction so isn't needed.

projectile.transform.position = objPlayer.transform.position;

Here, you should be changing your clone's position, not the original projectile (clone.transform.position = objPlayer.transform.position)

You need to make your projectile move!

Check out the documentation for ConstantForce:

// Moves the rigidbody upwards in world coordinates constantForce.force = Vector3.up * 10;

You'll need to add a RigidBody component to you projectile, and may want to uncheck "use gravity"

One tip, Debug.drawRay() and Debug.drawLine() are SUPER useful, I always make sure that I've got the geometric problem solved before trying to make projectiles follow along the paths.

You'll need to make your projectile move along
