How to Delay A Ball shooting script

Question

I am shooting A ball using a prefab. I have it set up so that when I press the Fire1 Key A animation plays, and in this script I made it plays at the same time as the animation, and I want the ball to shoot after the animation, so I tried to delay it using yield WaitForSeconds, but when I did that the script doesn't make the prefab any more any and so nothing happens, except the animation. I'm pretty new to Scripting. any help is appreciated.

 var projectile : Rigidbody;
 var speed = 20;
 
 function FixedUpdate() 
 {
 if(Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1"))
 yield WaitForSeconds(5);
 clone = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
 clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3(0,0,speed));
 }

I'm not totally sure but maybe try taking the yield part out of fixed update, I'm not sure if the updates like yield.

 function FixedUpdate()
 {
   if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1"))
   {
     FireFunction();
   }
 }
 
 function FireFunction()
 {
   yield WaitForSeconds(5);
 
   clone = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
   clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3(0,0,speed));
 }
