i did and it shoots okay when i shoot

[old minnow]

Do you mirror the gun when you look to the left?

Look left, then go to the Scene View and click on the fire point object

[gusty coral]

yea

[old minnow]

see which way the green arrow points

you can push ctrl-1 to jump to the scene view

[old minnow]

in case moving the mouse to click on the "Scene" tab messes it up

[old minnow]

is this while you're looking left? looks like the gun's on your right side to me

[gusty coral]

oh sorry i didnt see u said i should look left

yea thats the problem

[old minnow]

Are you only mirroring the Pistol object?

I guess that'd cause the issue

[gusty coral]

yes u see here

[old minnow]

hm, but

aimTransform.localScale = aimLocalScale;

[old minnow]

Oh, you're flipping it vertically

Flip it horizontally. You might need to change how you rotate the gun to compensate for that

[gusty coral]

oof how

[old minnow]

Although, to be sure, can you show me what the scene view looks like if you have the "Aim" object selected?

[old minnow]

ah, Aim is centered on the player, okay

So what happens if you don't set the scale at all?

does the gun wind up being upside-down, but still pointing the right way?

[gusty coral]

yea

[old minnow]

Okay. I see what's going on.

So you make the Aim object's X scale negative,

I would expect that to flip the gun onto the other side entirely.

[gusty coral]

yes

[old minnow]

can you show me what it looks like when aiming to the left? I'm a little surprised this works

I would think this would put the gun on the wrong side entirely when aiming left

[gusty coral]

wait what u want me to do

[old minnow]

Make it so that the scale is always 0.35, 0.35

Show me what it looks like when you aim left.

[old minnow]

Oh! I misread it. I thought you were setting the X scale to be negative

okay that makes way more sense

[gusty coral]

lol

[old minnow]

still, show me what it looks like when you don't make the Y scale negative

aim up and left

[gusty coral]

this is up with this code

[old minnow]

I need to see it without the Y scale being set to be negative.

Make it always be 0.35

I want to see how it behaves when you're aiming up and to the left. 45 degree angle or something.

[gusty coral]

okay i changed y to positive and now it works

like shooting and everything workds

thanks

[old minnow]

ah, good. I was having trouble imagining how it was changing the gun's position and rotation

If you want to flip the gun, I would make a new "gun" object that you parent those four objects to

and then flip that instead

instead of flipping the Aim object

[gusty coral]

okay thanks

[old minnow]

to visualize the difference

first one is the original

second one mirrors the holder
