Hi, the problem is this, im creating a space-ship-shooter type of game... So i get the ship to shoot in the right direction and everything but i need to disable that if you hold for example the space key pressed it shoots continuosly. I want it to be one click one bullet... This becouse my game creates bullets so close to each other that they fusionate and it seems like a giant bullet.

I dont know if the problem is understandable im not very good on english either... So im sorry...

Bottomline i need to force the player to wait to the key to be unpressed to be able to press it again...

Thanks in advance...

Hey there cHiNo... all you have to do is make a variable

ex:
if( pressing button && variable == 0 )
{
variable = 1;
shoot();
}
if( !pressing button )
variable = 0;
