How to Delay A Ball shooting script

Questions & Answers
1

I am shooting A ball using a prefab.
I have it set up so that when I press the Fire1 Key A animation plays, and in this script I made it plays at the same time as the animation, and I want the ball to shoot after the animation, so I tried to delay it using yield WaitForSeconds, but when I did that the script doesn’t make the prefab any more any and so nothing happens, except the animation.
I’m pretty new to Scripting. any help is appreciated.

var projectile : Rigidbody;
var speed = 20;

function FixedUpdate() 
{
if(Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1"))
yield WaitForSeconds(5);
clone = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3(0,0,speed));
}

I’m not totally sure but maybe try taking the yield part out of fixed update, I’m not sure if the updates like yield.

function FixedUpdate()
{
  if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1"))
  {
    FireFunction();
  }
}

function FireFunction()
{
  yield WaitForSeconds(5);

  clone = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
  clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3(0,0,speed));
}
