Fire rate

[JkWhoSaysNi]

I have a simple weapon script which fires a weapon but at the moment every time you press D it fires. How can i make it so theres a larger inteval between firing?

Thanks.

You could set a flag to true if the weapon is fired and the flag is false. Then, set a timeout to reset the flag.

Here is a small example:

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {

  this.fired = true;

}

function onWeaponFired() {

  if (this.fired) {

    // your stuff can go here

    this.fired = false;

    setTimer(5);

   }

   else

    {

      player.chat = "You must wait 5 seconds before firing again!";

    }  

}

function onTimeout() {

   if (this.fired == false) {

      this.fired = true;

    setTimer(5);

    }

 }

Why did you make this.fired counterintuitive?

Thanks.

Is there any reason to use function onCreated() {} over if(created) {}?

Kronan's example is gscript2. if (created) is not.

Ah, thanks.
