Ok If I step in the zone the enemy is supposed to shoot me once but instead it shoot a lot and if I stay in the zone it keep shooting like crazy.
What I want is when I step in the zone the enemy shoot me only 1 bullet.
Please help.

Just one method... Make a big invisible box ( this is basically your zone) and when your main actor collides with it, ( this is where attributes come in). You can use a timer for when the actor takes step in the zone one bullet shoots out and after how many seconds spawn a lot of bullets. Obviously this isn't a full answer since i am a bit in a rush right now but it could be a start

The gun needs to have a boolean attribute called something like 'OKToShoot'.
Set it initially to true.

Whenever the gun shoots a bullet, set this to false and start a Timer to set it back to true.

Like this:

Rule
When all conditions are valid:
[player is in range]
self.OkToShoot = true
-----Spawn Actor [bullet]
-----Change Attribute: self.OKToShoot To: false
-----Timer: for 1 second: run to completion
----------Change Attribute: self.OKToShoot To: true

The delay of the Timer determines the reload time.

Hope this helps!
