So I am programming a script that will allow you to instantiate the bullet, I have changed the GetMouseButtonDown to GetMouseButton, so you can fire it like you could with an assault rifle. But what I failed to realize is that when you hold it down it will build up and you go down to about 2 FPS. I am using a Java Script and I wandered if someone could either; tell me what to add and/or edit themselves and post a reply. This would benefit me a LOT. So without further adieu the CODE:
var projectile : Rigidbody;
var Speed = 10;
var Clone : Rigidbody;
var Cooldown : float;
function Update(){
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && Cooldown == 0){
Clone = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
Clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3 (0, 0, Speed));
Destroy(Clone.gameObject, 10);
}
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try this:
float timeLastShot = 0f;
float delayBetweenShots = 0.2f;
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && (Time.time > timeLastShot + delayBetweenShots))
{
timeLastShot = Time.time;
Clone = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
Clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3 (0, 0, Speed));
Destroy(Clone.gameObject, 10);
}
}
The above is C#, and it is untested because I do not have Unity3D over here at the moment. The idea is to save the time value when you fire a bullet. Then, in order to make the next shot, the time has to be greater than the last shot’s time plus a delay.
For the above, the delay is 0.2 seconds. So that means 5 shots per second.
Hope this helps.
How I usually do it is using a coroutine:
[Range(.1f, 30f)] public float fireRate;
bool firing;
void Update()
{
if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && !firing)
{
firing=true;
StartCoroutine(fire());
}
}
IEnumerator fire()
{
while(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
shootBullet();
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1/fireRate);
}
firing=false;
}
