Raycasting delay when shooting?

Questions & Answers
1

Can someone help me modify my script so that it has an adjustable delay in between shots? For instance, I would like a one second delay added to this script: Thanks for your help!

#pragma strict

var Effect : Transform;
var TheDammage = 100;

function Update () {

var hit : RaycastHit;
var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Vector3(Screen.width*0.5, Screen.height*0.5, 0));

if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
	if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 100))
	{
		var particleClone = Instantiate(Effect, hit.point, Quaternion.LookRotation(hit.normal));
		Destroy(particleClone.gameObject, 2);
		hit.transform.SendMessage("ApplyDammage", TheDammage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
	}
}

}

yeah it is not very hard. You must add a variable boolen. What do you want it is a firerate:
your script with the fireRate can be this:

var Effect : Transform; 
var TheDammage = 100;
var fireRate : float;
var canFire : boolean;

function Update () {

 var hit : RaycastHit;
 var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Vector3(Screen.width*0.5, Screen.height*0.5, 0));
 
 if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
 {
     if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 100)&&canFire==false)
     {
         canFire=true;
         var particleClone = Instantiate(Effect, hit.point, Quaternion.LookRotation(hit.normal));
         Destroy(particleClone.gameObject, 2);
         hit.transform.SendMessage("ApplyDammage", TheDammage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
         yield WaitForSeconds (fireRate);
         canFire=false;
     }
 }
