Damage enemy cooldown

Question

Hey,

I have a script on my weapon that calls a Damage function on the enemy OnTriggerStay2D. The weapon has a cooldown so that the enemy only gets hit as often as the cooldown.

The problem is that the weapon cannot hit multiple enemies since the first enemy hit will trigger the cooldown. What i want is a cooldown per enemies.

Initially the cooldown was on the enemy and it couldn't recieve damage while on cooldown, but now i want to apply diferent types of damages simultaneously so this doesn't work.

Am i doing this wrong ?

Well i've solved my problem by using a List, seems to work properly, example:

 private List<Collider2D> hitEnemies = new List<Collider2D>();
 
 void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D enemy)
      {
          if (other.tag == "Enemy" && !hitEnemies.Contains(enemy))
          {
              StartCoroutine(Damage(enemy));
          }
      }
  
  
      IEnumerator Damage(Collider2D enemy)
      {
          hitEnemies.Add(enemy);
  
          enemyHealth = enemy.GetComponent<EnemyHealth>();
          enemyHealth.Damage(damageAmount);
  
          yield return new WaitForSeconds(damageCooldown);
  
          hitEnemies.Remove(enemy);
      }

foreach enemy that is in the trigger you will have to use a Coroutine and maybe check something on the enemy like a bool to know if he already has this debuf so you won't apply it multiple times to the same enemy. StartCoroutine(YourDamageMethod(enemy));

 IEnumerator YourDamageMethod(Gameobject go) {
 //do some damage to the go
 }
