An effect problem

Questions & Answers

Hello.
I have a problem. The player does magic when you hold down the space key. I want the player to detect enemies at a certain distance and play an effect on them while the button is pressed.

For this, I tried the raycast and the instantiate method, but it plays in every frame because it is called inside the update function. But I just want only one effect to play on enemies while the button is pressed. I don’t know if I could explain what I mean. But how should I go about it?

I’m new to unity. I have to do this project for my final exam. Thanks in advice.

Here is the picture; cloning effects constantly.

private void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
{
//Place your code that you only want to active when the space press
}
}
The code above will make it so that the code inside of the if statement will only be active when the space bar is pressed in. So in your case I would place the raycast code inside of the IF statement so that it’s only active when the space bar is pressed down.

Hope this helps
