Shooting delay

[Swiff]

I'm using the inbuilt platform movement for my playable character. I'm new to TGF since 2 days back, I learned alot by reading replies and examples from people around this forum. But I can't seem to find an example of how to create a delay of an object being fired away.

Right now I'm making my 13th frame and it has a boss which I'll try to give "lives" when I learned about the alternal values.

But now, to be able to kill him I need to shoot him 7 times. But I don't want it to end in 1 second if you know what I mean

What I am saying is that I don't want to be able to spam my fire buttom to shoot 10k bullets a second. How can i add a delay?

Thanks in advance!

Destroy the bullit when it hits the boss.
Then don't allow shooting until last of bullits have been destroyed.

or

Every.20 seconds
Last of Bullits have been destroyed
Allow shooting

Do not use "every" whatever you do! Use the condition under the special object "Special Obejct -> Limit Conditions -> Restrict actions"

Thanks nivram and LB. Unfortunately I have no idea howto "not allow" I'm using all built-in functions only. I will have a look again and try LB's suggestion, if the conditions are "choosable" so to say.

sidenote: I downloaded about half of your examples Nivram, they're great for learning.

SO, I added set restriction 1 second for active object (character) shoot object (bullet).

didn't work.

So I removed my "upon pessing ctrl character shoot object" and inserted "upon pessing ctrl character shoot object" in the same box as the 1 second restriction.
The result: I can shoot once, but never again.

Any ideas? Thanks for helping

Edit: couldn't find any "allow" options.

Thanks for the nice comment Swiff.

I showed sudo code, as there is not an allow option, as it needs to be created by coding.

I have some open source examples of shooting, on my website. Although the examples are not called "shooting example", some of the examples include shooting.

Does this help?

I don't have a launch option in my conditions. I did put "active 14 shoot active 17 at speed 60. But it only let's me shoot once and never again. I put it in the row of the condition:
*upon pressing control
*restrict actions for 01"-00)

If your action still says Shoot instead if Launch then you have an old version of TGF2. You should update to the latest.

Also I don't know why it never lets you shoot again, it works just fine for me. make sure you are using the condition from the Special obejct -> Limit Conditions -> Restrict Actions

[Swiff]

Yeah I did use the special->limit conditions-restrict actions. However, SInce I got the old versio,n i'll download the latest and try it. thank you.

re-downloaded, got some stuff I didn't have before, but- the update doesen't run.

and it's stil lsaying "shooting" :/
