Shooting Delay

[Oreo]

I'm making a game where you can shoot (duh) but I want it to be realistic, so how do I delay sho0ting after the character has shot?

Example of what I want: Soldier shoots, disable shooting for 5 seconds, after 5 seconds realow shooting.

At the start of the frame, set the timer 5 seconds. Upon shooting, set the timer to 0.

In the "Shoot" event, add a condition testing if the timer is greater than 4 sec 99/100.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help Jaffob! :grin:

Here's how I would do it:

Repeat while "shift" is pressed
+ Counter =< 0

Then fire a bullet and set counter to 200

If counter is greater than 0, subtract 1 from counter.


This will let the player only shoot once every 200 mmf loops. I always, out of habit, check if the counter is less than or equal to 0, just incase some random weird bug makes the counter stoop to less than 0.

I'm not sure what version of MMF you use, but I believe that there is a restrict actions condition in the special object. Basically it won't get the key pressed, so it'll act as a delay. You can also calculate the delay every time it comes up. Like this Restrict Actions Rand(1000)*3+3000. (every second is 1000)
