Fire Rate Issues

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…

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; …
