I have already made a simple firework. what I want to do is trigger it. I want to know how will be able to put a time on the firework that i made. for example, every 5 seconds,the firework will explode… how to to that in java scrip. Am I going to use the renderer.enabled? thanks heres my code:

var firework : GameObject;

var trigger : ParticleEmitter;

function Start(){

trigger = firework.GetComponent(ParticleEmitter);

}

function Update(){

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse1)){

trigger.enabled = true;

}

}

You have to use InvokeRepeating, it is used to repeatedly call a function. So you can use it to repeatedly trigger the particle system. Find info here : 1

do something like this :

//have the same start function 
var firework : GameObject;

var trigger : ParticleEmitter;

var n : int;

InvokeRepeating ( "fireworks", 3,2);  //you can change the values instead of 3 and 2 to 5 seconds as you said

function fireworks(){
    trigger.enaled = true;
    //we also have to stop emmiting the particles after 'n' seconds 
    yield WaitForSeconds(n);  //change the value of n to what you want
    trigger.enabled = false;
}

I Hope this helped !
