How do I fix my cooldown system?

Can someone explain to me why my cooldown system doesn't work and how I can fix it

I made it so it all happens in one event but whenever I test it it always shoots nonstop so the cooldown didn't work the only thing that can stop the gun is just making the local number 0 but that part makes sense

Don't use the wait action. Use the timer behavior instead.

It should work fine, did you put the subtract after the wait ? When you press the key it locks out straight away by changing the variable so you shouldn't be able to spam it.

Actually it wasn't that it was the wait feature or timer it was just one thing it was the fact that the cooldown system used a local number and it started working as intended after it was switched to a global number. Weird

To makes the local variable works as intended a 'static' option should be checked beforehand.

I don't see how that's correct, if you use a global variable instead it would still be broken in the same way. But to be honest you never mentioned how it was broken in the original post.
