Thanks for helping me, but after I put the program in, I realized it is not doing what I had in mind. I tried to see if it was something that I did wrong and I couldn't find anything, so I went back to this thread and realized that I phrased the request wrong.

What I tried (and failed) at describing was the rate of fire for the gun to slow down as it reaches its overheating point.

In other words, a guns rate of fire starts to slow down after it shoots, per say, 200 rounds then it starts decreasing its rate of fire as it nears its overheating point. And when it does reach its overheating point, you would have to wait to fire again until it has reached its idle temperature (this you had already added and it performs nicely). Think of an equation of (2^x)-1 on a graph and only look at the part in quadrant one. Lets set (0,0) on the graph to be the overheating point and the line be the rate of fire slowing as it nears (0,0). That is what I wanted but failed to describe.

I do not know how complicated it would be to make such a program, but I feel as if it can be done.

Thanks!
