Fire Rate Issues

This is commonly called a "cooldown timer."

GunHeat (gunheat) spawning shooting rate of fire:

Spawning after amount of time without spamming

Don’t use a Timer… that’s super overkill. Instead, use just a float. I like to call my float “gunHeat.” private float gunHeat; private const float TimeBetweenShots = 0.25f; // seconds Now… in Update(): // cool the gun if (gunHeat > 0) { gunHeat -= Time.deltaTime; } // is the player asking to shoot? if (PlayerAskedToShoot) { // can we shoot yet? if (gunHeat <= 0) { // heat the gun up so we have to wait a bit before shooting again gunHeat = TimeBetweenShots; // DO…

I use my CallAfterDelay class for delayed action.
