Enemy Shooting delay??

Questions & Answers

The enemy’s cannons’ keep shooting repeatedly, I would like for the shooting to be delayed between shots, is there a way to do this? Any help would be appreciated!

Script:

#pragma strict
var Laser : GameObject;
var LeftCannon : GameObject;
var RightCannon : GameObject;
var range : float = 10f;
var myTransform : Transform;
var Friendly : Transform;

var nextFire : float = 2f;

function Start () {

}


function Update () {
 
var distance = Vector3.Distance(myTransform.position, Friendly.position);

if (distance<=range &&  Time.time > nextFire){
    Instantiate(Laser, LeftCannon.transform.position, transform.localRotation);
        Instantiate(Laser, RightCannon.transform.position, transform.localRotation);
            audio.Play ();
}
if(nextFire <= 0){
    Instantiate(Laser, LeftCannon.transform.position, transform.localRotation);
    Instantiate(Laser, RightCannon.transform.position, transform.localRotation);
    }
}

You can use Invoke function

function start()
{
     InvokeRepeating("fire", 2, 1);

}


function fire()
{
var distance = Vector3.Distance(myTransform.position, Friendly.position);
 
 if (distance<=range &&  Time.time > nextFire){
     Instantiate(Laser, LeftCannon.transform.position, transform.localRotation);
         Instantiate(Laser, RightCannon.transform.position, transform.localRotation);
             audio.Play ();
 }
 if(nextFire <= 0){
     Instantiate(Laser, LeftCannon.transform.position, transform.localRotation);
     Instantiate(Laser, RightCannon.transform.position, transform.localRotation);
     }
 }
}
