var player; var keys; var shootButton; var bullet; function create() { //game.add.sprite(0,0, 'background'); game.physics.startSystem(Phaser.Physics.ARCADE); //creates player player = game.add.sprite(0.45*600,600-50,'galaga'); game.physics.arcade.enable(player); // allows player to fire 2 bullets bullet = game.add.weapon(2,'bullet'); // when bullet leaves the screen, it will be destroyed bullet.bulletKillType = Phaser.Weapon.KILL_WORLD_BOUNDS; // offset rotation bullet.bulletAngleOffset = 90; // prevents ship from auto firing bullet.autofire = false; // The speed at which the bullet is fired bullet.bulletSpeed = 400; //keeps track of how many bullets were shot bullet.shots = 0; // Tell the bullet to track the 'player' Sprite, offset by 16px horizontally, 0 vertically bullet.trackSprite(player, 16, 0); //enabling keyboard use keys = game.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys(); shootButton = game.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Keyboard.SPACEBAR); } function update() { // Reset the players velocity (movement) player.body.velocity.x = 0; if (keys.left.isDown) { // Move to the left player.body.velocity.x = -150; } else if (keys.right.isDown) { // Move to the right player.body.velocity.x = 150; } else { //ship is idle } //shooting the bullet if (shootButton.isDown) { bullet.fire(); } } What I'm trying to do is prevent my player variable from autofiring(holding down space button to fire bullets.). I want the player to be able to shoot two bullets at a time, but only when the player presses the fire button rather than holding it. I was under the impression that bullet.autofire = false; would do the trick, but I was wrong. Am I using the autofire variable the wrong way?
