How to slow down multi-bullets on cursors.up.isDown ?

[vmars316]

function fireBullet () {

    if (game.time.now > bulletTime)
    {
        bullet = bullets.getFirstExists(false);

        if (bullet)
        {
            bullet.reset(throwerSprite.body.x + 16, throwerSprite.body.y + 16);
            bullet.lifespan = 2000;
            bullet.body.velocity.y = -300;
            bullet.body.acceleration.y = -300;
			    //prevent init tick error
            setTimeout(function(){
               timer.start()  
               }, 250)
            bulletTime = game.time.now + 50;
        }
    }
}

Hello & Thanks ,

I am getting muti bullet fires on single isDown . 

How can I prevent that . I have search thru all *.js examples for things like time, wait, delay, cursors.up.isDown, cursors.up.isPush, setTimeout, but no help . 

Pls, what will work ?

Thanks

Btw: Is there a way to search all of API in one search ? As a noob its hard to know exactly what to search for .

function fire() {

    if (game.time.now > nextFire && bullets.countDead() > 0)
    {
        nextFire = game.time.now + fireRate;

        var bullet = bullets.getFirstDead();

        bullet.reset(sprite.x - 8, sprite.y - 8);

        game.physics.arcade.moveToPointer(bullet, 300);
    }

}

This is dragged from the one of the examples. I use it in my code, using scoped variables where the 300 is the speed of the bullet, and the nextFire is the time until the next fire aka (delay). Hope this helps.

Please find the example here: http://phaser.io/examples/v2/arcade-physics/shoot-the-pointer
