Monogame Lazer Delay
Hello, I am trying to get a delay to work here but it seems like I am running into problems because either I am getting no delay whatever, or I just don't get the lazer to shoot at all when I press the Mouse Button. Can you please tell me what the problem here is?

it may be your gametime, you are making a new one every update
does monogame not have delta time you can pass in
when your games update method runs and it updates the rest of the game, pass in the GameTime created by monogame
Well when I add in the GameTime in the Update function it gets me the error that there is no suitable method found to override
I am not sure what you mean by delta time though, you mean Time Elapsed
Well it does have that
timeSinceLastShot += (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds;
If that is what you are referring to
yes from what i read, GameTime contains the delta time
delta means difference, so the difference in time between frames
but you dont want to create your own GameTime, you need to use the one provided by the Update method in your Game class
Ok fair enough, I deleted the GameTime and added it to the Update but now I get Error CS0115
'function' : no suitable method found to override
add it to your Unit Update method as well, it needs to go all the way down
You mean the base.update() in this case?
Well then it gets me Compiler Error CS1501
No overload for method 'method' takes 'number' arguments
did you write this code
Wait a sec
Ok now I found a new issue

Wait hold on
Ok this is my brother's code and he asked me for help
But when I couldn't find the solution I decided to ask for help
But I guess now I am kind of figuring everything out myself
your replies need to be more detailed
Yeah sorry
your brother needs to pass the GameTime instance from the Game Update method through the Update chain from Basic2d, to Unit, to Hero
also as a side note, I dont really understand the purpose of the OFFSET Vector2 being passed to Update and Draw
