Hi, I want to make my enemy wait before damaging it again .
But it Keeps Running every frame, and I tried coroutines as well but I seem they have no Effect
what so ever ;

here is my enemy code .

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class enemy : MonoBehaviour
{

    public Transform self;
    public MovePLayer player;
    public Camera camera;
    public int range;
    public int offSet;
    private bool lookingIsAllowed;
    public Target target;
    public float distance;
    public int Damage;
    private gun gunComponent;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        range = 10;
        lookingIsAllowed = true;
        Damage = 5;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        
        
        shoot();
        float distance = Vector3.Distance(self.position,player.transform.position);
        if(distance <= 10)
        {
            lookAt();
        }
        if (target.isBeingAttacked && distance <= 50)
        {

            lookAt();

        }

    }

    void shoot()
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        
        if (Physics.Raycast(camera.transform.position,camera.transform.forward,out hit , range))
        {
            Target target = hit.transform.GetComponent<Target>();
            if (target != null)
            {
                target.TakeDamage(Damage);
                target.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(hit.transform.position.z * 10f, hit.transform.position.y * 10f, hit.transform.position.z * 10f);
                

            }
        }
    }

    void lookAt()
    {
        self.LookAt(player.transform);
    }
}

@divyasnhundley You can use Invoke to set a bool like “CanAttack” to true or false

Example

CanAttack = true;

if(CanAttack)
{
    shoot();

    //Attack CoolDown part
    canAttack = false;
    Invoke("AttackCoolDown",5);
}

void AttackCoolDown()
{
    CanAttack = true;
}

I suggest using the cooldown part inside your shoot function.
