aw how come your code has the pretty colors?

Anyways, A question I had about your psudocode, was that you put the start functionin an IEnumerator?

[crystal cobalt]

Yes, that is valid.

Start can be a coroutine and would automatically start.

[cloud oyster]

both, at the same time?

sorry, I don't mean simultaneous. I mean, like, Making it a Coroutine won't stop it from activating at it's normal time?

[crystal cobalt]

It would activate at it's normal time as an appropriate Coroutine - it'd be started as a coroutine.

[cloud oyster]

gah friggin. I just realized I forgot to tie my code to the inputs

[crystal cobalt]

Ideally, you wouldn't want to be repeatedly starting coroutines but instead have a single coroutine for the life of the event and do what you need to in a loop.

[cloud oyster]

ah, okay. this is making sense

ooooh

[crystal cobalt]

So in your case, you'd: cs Update: Get input and save it to some field SpawnBullet: loop forever till this component is disabled etc loop while field that has input isnt valid yield to not freeze Spawn bullet since proper input was pressed yield delay OnEnabled: StartCoroutine(SpawnBullet) OnDisabled: //Don't need to do anything as a Coroutine is disabled when the MonoBehaviour is disabled

[cloud oyster]

wait, that's why the waitforseconds wasn't fixing the fire rate before. it was, it was just also creating about five million coroutines all waiting for seconds.

so eventually, it'd just look like a steady stream

Okay I think I'm getting this down, I've just got one minor issue

ffs nvm

[crystal cobalt]

Return type needs to be IE... else it's a regular function etc

Yeah.

[cloud oyster]

I left the yield return in there

yeah

???

I'm not asking for a bool tho

ALL of those red lines have the same error

[crystal cobalt]

First off, Update.
Second, you've got some field called Input that's of type bool.

Third, hopefully "LookVertical" and "LookHorizontal" are valid.

[cloud oyster]

yeah the speed at which everyone answered that makes me think this is a common mistake ^^

[cloud oyster]

yup, definitely. That's how I get my ship to spin around. Had to learn Quadrophilliac Slurping or something

public class Shooting : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField]
    private GameObject[] bullets;
    private GameObject shootbullet;
    private bool HasInput;
    [SerializeField] 
    float FireRate = 0.05f;


    IEnumerator Start()
    {
        while (true)
        {
            yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(FireRate);
            while (HasInput == false)
            {
                yield return null;
            }
            SpawnBullets();
        }
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetAxisRaw("LookVertical") != 0 || Input.GetAxisRaw("LookHorizontal") != 0)
        {
            HasInput = true;
        }
        else
        {
            HasInput = false;
        }
    }

    void SpawnBullets()
    {
        //makes custom keyword.
        shootbullet = Instantiate(bullets[0]);

        //actually sets the stats
        shootbullet.transform.position = this.transform.position;
        shootbullet.transform.rotation = this.transform.rotation;
    }
}```

This should look alright?

It's working how I intend for it to, at least

[crystal cobalt]

If it floats your boat, that's all that matters

[crystal cobalt]

Could just do cs HasInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("LookVertical") != 0 || Input.GetAxisRaw("LookHorizontal") != 0;btw.

[cloud oyster]

thank you very much for teaching me the smarter ways of the programmer.

[cloud oyster]

oh what the fuck

sneaky developer sneakrets

alright, now tell me how to do fun colors in my codeblock text like you did at the top

[crystal cobalt]

I mean... cs if (the stuff in here are true) something = true else something = falsemight as well be... cs something = the stuff in here

!code

oh you beautiful fucker

okay thank you so so much wise teacher for your wisdom and free time

[crystal cobalt]

Looks good-to-go
