SOLVED New user - DnD Space Rocks Part 3: too many bullets coming out at the same time

[dengdaizhea]

Hello,

I just watched part 3 and I'm having problems with my bullets. Here's an example:

I'm only hitting the space key once yet so many bullets came out. It doesn't show in this video but if the ship spins, you could see the bullets separating from each other. I would like to know how to fix this.

Thank you so much for clicking into my question and helping me!

Use the Keyboard Pressed event for shooting instead of the Keyboard Down event.

For the general keyboard event, it is triggered continuously, every step, for as long as the selected key is pressed down.

...

The Press and Release events for the keyboard are almost exactly the same as the regular keyboard event, except that instead of being triggered continuously, they are triggered once only. When the keyboard first registers that a key has been pressed it will generate a Keyboard Pressed event (as well as a regular Keyboard event), and the first time after that where a key is no longer being detected as pressed it will trigger a single Keyboard Release event.

Aha! Thank you. It’s fixed. Have a good night!
