How would I make this script work?

Questions & Answers
1

So I am trying a 4th kind of shooting for my FPS, and I am having trouble making this script work. I want the bullet (a cube about 390 along the z axis) to hide when the Start () runs, and when the player clicks the left mouse button (Fire1) to show for .2 secs and then hide.

Here is the non working script:

public float showTime = 0.2f; 
public GameObject Bullet; 

void Start () {
         Bullet.SetActive (false); 
}

void Update () {
         if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1") {
                  Bullet.SetActive (true); 
                  yield WaitForSeconds = showTime; 
                  Bullet.SetActive (false); 
      }

}

Try this:

    public float showTime = 0.2f;
    public GameObject Bullet;

    void Start()
    {
        Bullet.SetActive(false);
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") ){
            StartCoroutine(doBulletThingy());
        }

    }

    IEnumerator doBulletThingy()
    {
        Bullet.SetActive(true);
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(showTime);
        Bullet.SetActive(false);
    }

modify your script like this:

public float showTime = 0.2f; 
 public GameObject Bullet; 
 
 void Start () {
          Bullet.SetActive (false); 
 }
 
 void Update () {
          if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1") {
                 StartCoroutine("showBullet");
       }
 
 }

IENumarator showBullet()
{
    Bullet.SetActive (true); 
     yield return new WaitForSeconds = showTime; 
     Bullet.SetActive (false); 
}

You can’t use WaitForSeconds in Update (as far as i know). that was your problem.

I trust them both equally, but which ever script works better, or which ever script works at all, they get 10 points in a reward.
