What rules for tapping button to shoot versus holding down?

butterbean

What rule could you put in to make someone shoot tapping the button versus having to hold it down? But at a steady pace, not too fast?

Thanks, appreciate the advice

you could do it like this:

create a global boolean attribute called OKToFire or something like that, set it initally to true.

Rule
When Mouse is DOWN
When OKToFire = TRUE
Change Attribute: OKToFire = FALSE
Fire A Bullet

Rule
When Mouse is UP
Timer
After 0.1 seconds
Change Attribute OKToFire = TRUE

The timer delay would control the ability to fire...

I have all those rules within my Ship, but it's the timer of the bullet I'm confused with

When firing a bullet, would I do

Rule: After 0.1 seconds

Spawn Bullet, how would you tweak the timer so when you tap the button, it just shoots?

Or Could I just do without a timer?

I'll experiment with it

Just removed the timer, and now works perfect, thanks Firemaple!
