Need Help with Play.OneShot()

[praveenyt150]

I want to make it so that everytime i shoot my gun, the gunshot audio is playing.

But when i click the button that shoots the gun and hold it, it duplicates so many times.

I want to set a delay on each gunshot sound effect but i dont know how.

Any pointers?

Code:

using UnityEngine;

public class CharacterShooting : MonoBehaviour {
    public Gun gun;
    public int shootButton;
    public KeyCode reloadKey;
    public AudioClip shot;
    AudioSource audioSource;
   
    void Start() {
        audioSource = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
    }
    void Update() {
        if(Input.GetMouseButton(shootButton)) {
            gun.Shoot();
            audioSource.PlayOneShot(shot, 0.7F);
    }
}
}

Fire Rate Issues

This is commonly called a "cooldown timer." You can google for examples and tutorials, but the simplest way is this: have a private float gunHeat; variable In Update(), if that variable is greater than zero, subtract Time.deltaTime from it (this cools down the gunHeat) if (gunHeat > 0) { gunHeat -= Time.deltaTime; } When you go to fire: --- A. only fire if that gunHeat variable is zero or less. --- B. set that variable to the time (in seconds) you want to have between shots. if (Us…

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; …
