General / How can I make it so they can't hold down a button and spam?

Or you can switch to using events.

I'd like to switch to events, but I tried that and there is only a small delay in shooting. Instead of it spamming nonstop, its *shoot shoot shoot* *slight delay* *shoot shoot shoot*

This is the code I have for events:

Code: [Select]


sf::Event Event;
while (App.GetEvent(Event)) {
  if ( Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Space ) {
     sf::Sprite Missle(MissileImage);
     Missile.SetPosition(Player.GetPosition());
     Missile.SetRotation(Player.GetRotation());
     missiles.push_back(Missile);
  }
}

I'm trying to make a simple space invaders game, and I have this:

if ( App.GetInput().IsKeyDown(sf::Key::Space)) { /* shoot missile */ }

However, if you hold down space it spams the missiles. How do you get around this? I want it so that they have to press space each time they want to shoot a missile.
