var projectile : GameObject; var fireRate = 0.5; private var nextFire = 0.0;
function Update () { if (Input.GetButton ("Fire1") && Time.time > nextFire) { nextFire = Time.time + fireRate; var clone = Instantiate (projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation); } }
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { public GameObject projectile; public float fireRate = 0.5F; private float nextFire = 0.0F; void Update() { if (Input.GetButton("Fire1") && Time.time > nextFire) { nextFire = Time.time + fireRate; GameObject clone = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation) as GameObject; } } }
Note: time starts once all Awake functions have finished. The time value will be undefined during Awake functions.
