Does anyone know how to code a gun's rate of fire?
I don't know how to make a delay between each shot you click the mouse to fire, however have it still automatic. It would involve timers right?

I have a temporary fix, but it's more on how fast the Code is read.

+ Code Snippet

if (C_ammo > 0)			
{	
if ( dbMouseClick() == 1 && dbMouseClick() != 3 && dbObjectPlaying (10) != 1)
				{	
					N1 = N1 + 1;						
					dbShowObject (50);
					dbPositionObject (50,4,-3,44);
					dbRollObjectLeft ( 50 , (float)(rand() % 180) );
					if ((N1%ROF) == 1) // the rate of fire. 
					{
						C_ammo = C_ammo - 1;

							if ( dbSoundPlaying ( 30 ) == 0 )
							{
								dbLoopSound ( 30 , 0 , 2070 , 0 );
							}
					}
				}
				else

Well you need a timer, and how this is achieved is something like follows:

+ Code Snippet

int OldTime = 0;

...

...

OldTime = dbTimer();

while ( ... )
{


   if ( dbTimer() > OldTime + 500 ) //basicly if the current time, is 500 milliseconds more than the old time, then shoot, and reset the OldTime so the gun will fire in another 500ms.
   {

      //SHOOT code.

      OldTime = dbTimer();
   }
   

}
