Adding A 1 Second Click Delay

This code is placed on boxes that are destroyed when clicked. I want to add a one second delay before it's possible to click again. How would you handle this?

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class destroy : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     void OnMouseDown () {
8.         Destroy (gameObject);
9.     }
10. }
11.  

 

I'd simply keep track of when the last click was, and put in an if-test.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. public class destroy : MonoBehaviour {
4.    static float lastClickTime = -999;
5.     void OnMouseDown () {
6.         if (Time.time - lastClickTime < 1) return;   // too soon!
7.         lastClickTime = Time.time;
8.         Destroy (gameObject);
9.     }
10. }

I made lastClickTime static here because it seems like you want this delay to apply even between boxes.

 

Awesome. That worked out perfectly. Thank you.
