Machine gun fire

Question

Hey, I'm trying to get my gun to fire as a mac$$anonymous$$ne gun would. I can't see what is wrong with my code so I hope somebody here can!

 public float fireRate=0.5f;
 public float nextFire=0.0f;
 
 void Update () {
 if(gun.active)
 {
     if(Input.GetMouseButton(0)&&Time.deltaTime>nextFire){
         Debug.Log("shot fired");
         nextFire = Time.deltaTime+fireRate;
         audio.Play();
         Ray ray=Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(shootingPoint);
         RaycastHit $$anonymous$$t=new RaycastHit();
         if(Physics.Raycast(ray,out $$anonymous$$t))
         {
             if($$anonymous$$t.collider.gameObject.tag=="barrel")
             ..........................

So that is the main code I believe is causing problems. Sometimes the gun fires as soon as it is picked up without pressing the mouse button. Perhaps Input.GetMouseButton(0)is wrong as i changed that from Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)?

 if(Input.GetMouseButton(0)&&Time.deltaTime>nextFire)
 {
  ....
  ....
  nextFire = Time.deltaTime+fireRate;

.... } change it to t$$anonymous$$s: if(Input.GetMouseButton(0)&&Time.time>nextFire) { .... .... nextFire = Time.time+fireRate; .... }

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks! it's repeating fire now but when I change the firerate it is still firing at the same rate no matter if i have 2.0f or 0.1f as the value!
