How do I make my enemy shoot

Hi all,

i want the enemy to shoot every X seconds (which is no problem) but starting already with the 0 second...and then every x second. Because when my character moves toward the enemy and timer starts, its already too near him when he begins to shoot. Any ideas?

You could use a boolean like structure.

you create a boolean variable set to false (or use 0 for false and 1 for true)

When the enemy sees the player and the boolean is false, shoot and set the boolean to true.

Then every x seconds, if the boolean is true shoot again.

if the enemy can't see the player anymore, set the boolean to false again.
