spawning objects when control is down

Hi, i'm totally new to construct and trying to spawn bullets when a key is held down. problem is, it spawns a zillion bullets, one right after the other. i need a delay (which i can define) between each shot, but haven't found a way to accomplish that.

I have a feeling it's something really simple, help?

The easiest way would be to add an "Every X Milliseconds" condition, which can be found under the system object.

Yeah just add an additional condition like:

on mouse button down

every x miliseconds

spawn object bullet.

Just make sure its all in the same event.

yes, that did it, thanks very much.
