Dodonpachi style shooting behavior

Hi everyone!

Ok I have a problem with my shooting mechanic. I don't use "every x seconds" for shooting because it's really innacurate because of the way the time lapses, so I usually make my machine guns with:

Which works perfectly well, but with this code, if I stop pressing my button (ShootSmall goes from 1 to 0) and press it again, no bullet will come out until the waiting time passes and CanShoot variable allows that.

So I want to make that when I stop pressing the button, all the waiting thing resets and it inmediatly shoots so the player can spam the shoot button if he thinks he is faster than the auto-shooting.

I hope I explained my self well enough.

Thanks!

I think I get what you mean. You want auto-fire, but you also want the player to be able to manually rapid fire faster than the preset, right?

What you could do is fire a shot when the button is pressed, and as long as that button is held, run a Timer behavior on an interval. Every time the Timer finishes, fire another shot. And when the player releases the button, stop the Timer.

No problem, DDP is one of my favorite shooters next to thunder force 3 and giga wing. Good luck on the game!
