How do I set amount of time between when an audio clip can be played?

[system]

Hi,

I have this script attached to my gun :

var rifle : AudioClip; 

function Update() {
    if (Input.GetButton("Fire1")) {
        animation.Play("AnimationEnfield");
        audio.PlayOneShot(rifle);
    }
}

It works, but what happens is the rifle sound plays continuously when you click fire. I need to be able to stop the audio playing until the animation is finished, so really I need to play the audio and wait three seconds before I can do it again. Could someone help me please?

Use `Input.GetButtonDown()`, not `GetButton()`.

You can check if an animation is playing or not using the isPlaying property.

Adding to what SpikeX said, to set a reload time, you can do something like:

var reloadTime : float = 3.0;

private var fireTime : float;

function Update() {

    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") && Time.time -  reloadTime >= fireTime) {
        animation.Play("AnimationEnfield");
        audio.PlayOneShot(rifle);
        fireTime = Time.time;
    }

}
