Is there a way slow down CollisionStay?

Unity Engine
,

void OnCollisionStay2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.name == "FollowEnemy")
        {


            HitPoint -= Damage;
            Debug.Log("-1");
        }
    }

This code makes my player take 10 damage a second. My players health is 10. What can I do about this? Do I just lower the damage value or is there a better way to make collisionStay run slower?

 if (collision.gamobject ETC ETC..)
    {
        time += Time.deltaTime;

        if( time >= "whatever delay you want as float")
        {
            DealDamage();
            time = 0f;
        }

    }

    void DealDamage()
    {
        Hitpoints -= Damage;
    }

You have to make a simple timer. Keep record of the time and apply damage after certain timer has passed, reset time and then repeat.

EDIT: well, looks like someone just pressed post button at the same time, with example code too. :slight_smile:
