Bullet delay after shooting so you can't repeatedly shoot by clicking over and over,Wait for Bullet Counter to Reset before Shooting Again

Questions & Answers

Hi, I’m following a tutorial online for a shooter game. Bullets are delayed using a float variable, but only if you’re holding down the “left-click”. If you repeatedly click the left-click button as fast as you can, the bullets will leave the gun just as fast–bypassing the delay.

Is there a way to shoot ONLY if the delay counter is finished?

Here’s the code! Hopefully we don’t need to scrap the whole code for this. I do like the simplicity. Thanks in advance.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class GunController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public bool isFiring;
    public BulletController bullet;
    public float bulletSpeed;
    public float timeBetweenShots;
    private float shotCounter;
    public Transform firePoint;

    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (isFiring)
        {
            shotCounter -= Time.deltaTime;
            if (shotCounter <= 0)
            {
                shotCounter = timeBetweenShots;
                BulletController newBullet = Instantiate(bullet, firePoint.position, firePoint.rotation) as BulletController;
                newBullet.speed = bulletSpeed;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            shotCounter = 0;
        }
    }
}

public class GunController : MonoBehaviour
{
public bool isFiring;
public BulletController bullet;
public float bulletSpeed;
public float timeBetweenShots;
private float nextFireTime;
public Transform firePoint;

    private bool CanFire
    {
        get { return Time.time > nextFireTime; }
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (isFiring && CanFire)
        {
            nextFireTime = Time.time + timeBetweenShots;
            BulletController newBullet = Instantiate(bullet, firePoint.position, firePoint.rotation) as BulletController;
            newBullet.speed = bulletSpeed;
        }
    }
}
