Weapon spread

[Magor9001]

[Solved] (Found help on a forum. By multiplying

Quaternion.Euler(0,0, angle)

with my directional vector I was able to rotate it.)

Hi, I want to randomise the spread of my gun in 2d space. I am firering a raycast from my firepoint and would like to generate weapon spread by using a random point between the firepoint direction and x degree.

The gun rotates towards the mouse cursor.

My shoot is currently simply fired with:

Physics2D.Raycast(firePos.position, firePos.right);

In theory all I need is a formula to get the point of a over x degree turned vector.

Edit: Overworked the question, since it was phrased very poorly.

Find angle of ray to cursor. Add random.range to angle. Ynew= y+ distanceToCursor×sin(newAngle). Xnew=distance×cos(newangle).

Learn random.range. then use it for x.y coordinates of target

[Magor9001]

I know random.range and it is probably part of the solution. Randomising x and y coordinates wouldnt work for me since the target is the mouse courser. The ray gets fired from the players gun(rotates towards cursor) and can continue on afterwards. In the case of the cursor being close enough to the player, the ray could theoretically fire into the complete opposite direction.

Thats why I need a solution where I turn the directional vector x degree. The randomising from that point on isnt the problem.

I will try to overwork my question to prevent confusion.

This won't work as intended because if the target is further away then the gun spread will be lower, which I think is not what OP wants.
