Gun recoil and gun reload

Okay I have been working on my first game and I was going to publish the demo. But I cant find out how to make a gun recoil and gun reload. I have the Aiming and every thing done its just what i want to do is when you reload. It takes like 2 seconds before you get your clip full. like “yield WaitForSeconds” i cant use that because I put it in function Upate…
and I am using java…
thanks

It is difficult to help you without seeing your script One simple way around the Update() issue and waiting for a reload is to have a boolean value 'isReloading' used as a flag, and the have it set and cleared in a coroutine. In Upadate() you only allow the gun to fire if the isReloading flag is false,

 –

do you have reload animation for your weapon and (for recoil )is your weapon is semi automatic or full auto(ie pistol or assualt rifle)

 –

it is a full auto and I dont want to post my script because its over 900 lines

Well here’s one way you could do the reloading:

public var reloading : boolean; //Are we reloading?
public var reloadTime : float; //Time it takes to reload.

private var reloadTimer : float; //Var that keeps track of time.

function Update()
{
	//If we press reload and we aren't already reloading...
	if (!reloading && Input.GetButtonDown("ReloadButton"))
	{
		reloading = true; //Start reloading.
		reloadTimer = Time.time + reloadTime; //Set time to stop reloading.
	}
	
	//If we're reloading and the current time is more than the stop time...
	if (reloading && Time.time > reloadTimer)
	{
		reloading = false; //Stop reloading.
	}
}

Okay thanks

Hi here is the script

var reload:boolean = false;
var weapon:Transform;
var ReloadAnim:AnimationClip;
var maxrot:float = 5;///rotate your weapon and copy y axis rotation
function Update(){
if(reload){
weapon.animation.CrossFade(ReloadAnim.name);
if(!weapon.animation.IsPlaying(ReloadAnim.name)){
///amooinclp = ammoperclip;
reload = false;
}
weapon.localRotation.y = Mathf.Lerp(weapon.localRotation.y,0,Time.deltaTime * 2);
if(Input.GetButton("Fire1")){
weapon.localRotation.y = Mathf.Lerp(weapon.localRotation.y,maxrot,Time.deltaTime * 2);
}
}
}
