how do you make a cool down when firing lasers with this script?

jayduhhhh

when green flag clicked
hide
forever
if <key [space] pressed?> then
create clone of [myself]
end

when I start as a clone
go to [spaceship]
point in direction (90)
show
repeat until <touching [edge] >
move (10) steps
delete this clone
end

You can use a variable to do this easily:

when green flag clicked
hide
forever
if <<key [space] pressed?> and <(Cooldown) = [F]>> then
create clone of [myself]
end

when I start as a clone
set [Cooldown v] to [T]
go to [spaceship]
point in direction (90)
show
repeat until <touching [edge] >
move (10) steps
delete this clone
set [Cooldown v] to [F]
end

Did I help you fix your problem? If so, please nominate my project to be featured!

the simplest solution is

forever
if <key [space v] pressed?> then
create clone of [myself v]
wait (cooldown amount here) secs
end
end

However, you can mess around with

(timer)

(set a “target” time that when reached should end the cool down, then wait until the timer is at that number)

@MrKingofScratch 's solution is far easier that the other one
