How to put a "wait" "delay" between one action and another

[dandorf]

For example, in a shooting game. That when you throw a shot, you may have to wait a while to be able to pull another shot. 

 

Any ideas?

[nkholski]

function shoot(){

if(nextShot>game.time.now){return;} // too early

/* make shot */

nextShot = game.time.now + 1000; // wait at least 1 second (1000ms) to next shot

}

Yes, that works perfectly, thanks. 

 

And for example, to do something to stop the game in general? The bullet for a second or two stops, for instance. 

 

There any instructions for this?

Do you mean pause the whole game?

You can set:

game.paused = true;

Here's the example to pause and then unpause:

This example currently looks a bit funky on iPad due to a webGL issue so check it out on a PC.

There is also the  

this.game.time.events.add(TIME, function () { //DO STUFF}, self);

But I really liked this way.

This also works with Phaser 3
