How to add delay on button press

How do I add a delay on a button press? Hit a button to fast breaks some of my UI how do you have a delay on a button so you can only click it every like .5 seconds etc...

 

Set up a bool ‘wasPressed’ or something and check for it when the button is pressed. If false, swap to true, execute your button instructions, then call a coroutine to swap the flag back to false after .5 seconds. You might want to think about initializing the flag to false at certain key moments (ie start new level etc) if the coroutine can possibly get interrupted.

 

Why not using a float and the current time only? It should not require a coroutine if you just want to ignore the press.

Code (CSharp):

1. float m_LastPressTime;
2. float m_PressDelay = 0.5f;
3.  
4. void OnButtonPress()
5. {
6.     if (m_LastPressTime + m_PressDelay > Time.unscaledTime)
7.         return;
8.     m_LastPressTime = Time.unscaledTime;
9.  
10.     Debug.Log("OnButtonPress);
11. }

 

just added a quick little grammar thing if people need it
