How do I slow down bullet spawn

How do I slow down bullet spawn.

When I hold down shoot button it keeps spawning bullets like a water hose out of the shooter.

I want to delay the bullets so they come out slower.

There are many ways if you go through the tutorials. A simple one is the wait action.

Instance Variable for the shooter:

var fireDelay = 0;   // Detect if ready to fire.

var fireRate = 20;   // Speed of fire rate.

When button is holding:

shooter.fireDelay -1

---- If (shooter.fireDelay <= 0)

        {shooter.fireDelay = shooter.fireRate, Fire bullet}

On button release:

shooter.fireDelay = 0

Hope it helps.

You can also try making the bullet spawn when mouse button "X" is held down. Make it spawn like every 0.3-1.0 play around with that a bit. Using the wait action like suggested above is one way to do it.
