Shoot Timer Wont Reset

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
{
timer -= Time.deltaTime;
if (timer < 0)
{
Rigidbody bull = (Rigidbody)Instantiate(bullet, transform.position, transform.rotation);
bull.AddForce(Vector3.forward * 10f);
timer = 5f;
}
}

This has me stumped. Wondering why my timer isn’t resetting to 5 after I shoot?
Is there something wrong with my logic?

Thanks!

Okay, weird.
I found the problem.

                 if (timer < 0)
                 {
                     Rigidbody bull = (Rigidbody)Instantiate(bullet, transform.position, transform.rotation);
                     bull.AddForce(Vector3.forward * 10f);
                     timer = 5f;
                 }

Unity doesn’t read anything after:

  bull.AddForce(Vector3.forward * 10f);

I changed it to:

                 {
                     timer = 5f;
                     Rigidbody bull = (Rigidbody)Instantiate(bullet, transform.position, transform.rotation);
                     bull.AddForce(Vector3.forward * 10f);
                 }

and now it works fine. Why is this?
Is it a bug? (I am using 5.3.1 because too lazy to update right now)
