my coding is the same as on course however, my projectiles fire rate is more like 20 seconds, is this the intended delay, in the video it seems to be a much shorter delay.
Hi there,
Can you share your firing code?

Okay looks good, and what do you have the fire rate set to in the editor? It’s Serialized, so the inspector value will override defaults in the script.
Remember, fireRate is projectiles per second. It’s the inverse of the time between firing which would be seconds per projectile.
fireRate [1/sec]
fireTime [sec]
0.075
So 1 / 0.075 = 13.33 seconds. So you will get 13 seconds between projectiles. If you want to lower that amount of time, increase the firing rate.
Thank you I was slightly confused because the fire rate in the videos seemed lower but he had the same configurations as myself… thank you though I will likely just increase the Rate.
