How do I shoot in controlled bursts?

Hello Community,

I'm making a top-down shooter, and so far if I click left-button is down, it should produce a short burst of 3 bullets then stop. I got it working this way:

.. Player spawns bullet#1, wait.02sec, spawn bullet#2, wait.02sec, spawn bullet#3

I'm not sure if there's a better way that this... perhaps with instance variables?

However, I want to prevent excessive clicking on mouse, which spawns lots of bullets.

so...

• 1 click with produce 3 short bursts of bullets.
• excessive clicking will be ignored.

I tried a few things but was unable to achieve this.

Help please

Thanks,

Roberto

RobertoFreemano use Timers instead of Wait it will give you better results.
