Controlling fire rate with C#

Unity Engine

I’m trying to controller the player’s weapon’s fire rate with nextFire = Time.time + fireRate;, but right now this line of code doesn’t seem to work. Plz help.

We can’t really help with just that small bit of code.

But here is an example for cooldown

private float fireRate = 10.0f;
private float nextFire = -1f;

void Update()
{
    if(nextFire > 0)
    {
        nextFire -= Time.deltaTime;
        return;
        //can not fire
    }else
    {
        //can fire
    }
}

void WeaponWasFired()
{
    nextFire = fireRate;  //10 sec until next fire is available
}
