hey everyone! so.. I'm having a problem... I'm making a game of batleships, and i is going very well so far, but now I wanted to make an enemy shoot at me, so i've already make the boat look at me but now i cant make it shoot! this is my script can anyone tell me what is wrong with it?

var bullitprefab: Transform;

shoot();

function shoot(){

var bullit = Instantiate(bullitprefab, transform.Find("SpanwPoint").transform.position, Quaternion.Identity);



bullit.Rigidbody.AddForce(transform.right * 1000);

}

Well nothing is really wrong with it but the variable bullitprefab has to be rigidbody. Let me give you an example on how I would use this, and explain some stuff:

var bulletprefab : Rigidbody;//has to be rigidbody to fire, and made it "bullet" instead of "bullit"
var spawn : Transform;

function Update(){

if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, Transform.Find("Player")) < 10){   
//if the distance between player and enemy is beneath 10 do the following:

shoot();
}
}

function shoot(){

 var bullet = Instantiate(bulletprefab, spawn.position, transform.rotation);



bullet.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.right * 1000); // had to be rigidbody notRigidbody

}

BTW plz make a comment instead of an answer

oh and unity acts weird if you still have the error of var not expected do this:

var bullet : Rigidbody; bullet = Instantiate(bulletprefab, spawn.position, transform.rotation);

It's just the long way around, sometimes unity does this I don't know why
