How Can i add a delay to my shoot script ?

Questions & Answers
1

Hi all i just made a shooting script and it works perfectly :slight_smile: but the problem is the shooting is to fast i want a delay in there so if i press F on the keyboard rapidly it wont let me shoot until the delay time is over. I want to set the delay time as 1.5 sec and then the you can shoot again. After 1.5 sec you can shoot :slight_smile: when you press F on the keyboard

Here is my script:

		var Range : float;
		
				var Force : float = 1000;

					var Clips : float = 100;
					
						var BulletsPerClip : float = 1;
						
						var ReloadTime: float = 0.6;
						
						
 var BulletsLeft : float = 0;

 
 var Delay : float = 2;
var fireRate = 0.05;

public var ShootSound : AudioClip;
public var ReloadSound : AudioClip;
function Update () {

		if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F) && BulletsLeft ){

         PlayShootSound();
          ShootRay();
           
            

}

}

function Start(){


   BulletsLeft = BulletsPerClip;



}




function ShootRay(){

  GameObject.Find("m1911pistoleReloadandShooting").animation.Play("Shoot") ;
    var hit: RaycastHit;
    
    var direction = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
    
    Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, direction * Range, Color.yellow);
    		
    if(Physics.Raycast( transform.position, direction, hit, Range)){
    
    	if(hit.rigidbody){
    	
    
         hit.rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition( Force * direction , hit.point);
       
    }
    }

BulletsLeft--;

if( BulletsLeft < 0){
  
     BulletsLeft = 0;
 }    

if( BulletsLeft == 0){
 
 Reload();

}
}


function Reload (){

PlayReloadSound();
GameObject.Find("m1911pistoleReloadandShooting").animation.Play("Reload") ;
 yield WaitForSeconds( ReloadTime);
   
   if( Clips >0){
 
  Clips -=1;
  BulletsLeft = BulletsPerClip; 
  
 }
}

	function PlayShootSound()
	{
		audio.PlayOneShot(ShootSound);
	}

function PlayReloadSound()
	{
		audio.PlayOneShot(ReloadSound);
	}

Please someone help me thank you so much :slight_smile: MCHALO

use invoke to delay calling something. If you want to keep people from being able to mash on buttons as fast as they can, you can just do a conditional time test. IE) 

if(Time.time - startTime >= minShotTime)    
    ShootGun();
