Im making a FPS and i wanna know how to add a cooldown for shots taken, Ive been trying to make it so guns have different fire rates like a sniper has a longer shoot cooldown while a assault rifle has a faster cooldown?

when meme seen
if <meme dead> then 
say [that memes mid]
  

else
forever
repost
end
end

Hi, and welcome to the forums! It's a little hard to know exactly how your shooting works without a link to the project or some code. However, if you're using a clone-based system, you can use the wait block:

wait (...) secs

You can change your shoot script to be something like this:

forever
if <key [space v] pressed?> then
create clone of [bullet v] // create a bullet
wait (1) secs // wait 1 second
end
end

This will make it so you can only shoot once per second.

Thats not really how mine works, heres a project link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/581256421/ so you can help me. I dont use cloning because im not thank advanced with it but its a good idea!

ok, i have something that might work.

when flag clicked
set [shoot.cooldown] to [0]
forever
if <(shoot.cooldown)=(0)> then
set [shoot.cooldown] to [1]
create clone of [bullet]
end
end

now, add another script.

when flag clicked
forever
if <(shoot.cooldown)=(1)> then
wait (.1) secs
set [shoot.cooldown] to [0]
end
end

no problem.

When flag clicked
go to x: (0) y: (0)
set [Happy v] to (0)
hide
clear
pen up

when I receive [A Follow v]
set [Happy v] to (1)
