Question by Codelyy · Dec 01, 2015 at 12:33 AM · 3dfiring

Fire 3 bullets only, one after the other

I'm wanting to create a boss fight and I'm using states to do it. I want one of the functions in my state to fire 3 bullets only at the player but one after the other so they don't collide with each other and come out all at once. Sadly i don't know how to do this.

I did try and it just ended up with the bullets coming out all at once instead of one after the other like i wanted.

Any help?

 function Update () {
 
   var timer:float;
  var gunnumber:int;
  var bulletonce:int;
  var delay:float;    //----time between shots
  
 
  if(Input.GetKeyDown("space")){gunnumber=3;timer=3;} 
  
  if(gunnumber>0){
  timer=timer-Time.deltaTime*delay;
                      if(timer<0){timer=3;
                                          gunnumber=gunnumber-1;}}
  
  
  
  if(gunnumber!=bulletonce){
                     bulletnumber=bulletonce;
  
  //----------------------trigger a bullet here however you are doing that. lol!!!!!!

You could add a delay in between firing the bullets like this:

 var delayTime = 0.5;
 var startTime = Time.time;
 while (Time.time - startTime < delayTime)
 {
     yield;
 }

Note that the yield statement will technically make your function into a coroutine. As a result, this will be slightly more complicated to implement in C#. See here for more on coroutines. There may be other ways to achieve this functionality if this route seems unappealing to you.
