How do I make it so a bullet can only be fired every 3 sec?

I need help to make a bullet to only be fired every 3 seconds. It's the player who fires the bullet when I press "W". The problem is that i can spray as many bullets as possible. Thanks in advance. -Klungland

The common trick is to put your keyboard code in a Group and then disable the group and start a timer to enable the group again in 3 seconds.

Here's one way you could do it.

Thanks for the help, both of you

Even simpler :

The only problem with your code is that will not spawn a bullet every time the W key is pressed unless its been 3 seconds since the last bullet spawned. So for instance the first time you shoot you'll have to wait 3 seconds to see anything.

You could however combined W pressed and W down to achieve what you want:
