Countdown not working (instantiating on count<=0)
Hey. I made tower-defense automatic shooting system, the problem is that my bullets are non-stop created, and I saw that my fireCountdown float doesn't set back to the fireRate, and stays at 0 making my attack script non-stop-spawning bullets.
Do you have an idea of how to fix that ? The Update part code ;
void Update () {
if (target == null)
{
if (useLaser)
{
if (lineRenderer.enabled)
{
lineRenderer.enabled = false;
Destroy(impactEffect);
impactLight.enabled = false;
}
}
return;
}
if (useLaser)
{
Laser();
}
else // if using bullets
{
if (fireCountdown <= 0f)
{
Shoot();
fireCountdown = fireRate;
}
fireCountdown -= Time.deltaTime;
}
}

Fixed by moving the countdown line over the Shoot() call 0-0.
Are you sure that your "fireRate" property is not set to 0? As far as I can see that code should work. Another way to do it is to cache the last time a bullet was fired, something like this:
public float attackRate = 1f; // Fire one projectile/sec
private float _lastAttack;
public void Awake() {
_lastAttack = Time.time;
}
public void Update() {
if( Time.time - _lastAttack >= attackRate ) {
Shoot(); //Shoot a bullet when the target time has passed
_lastAttack = Time.time; //Cache current time again
}
}
Okay, I don't figure out why, but moving the line of the countdown = fireRate over the Shoot() call made it work. Thanks for your time tough, it's really nice of yours !
