Adjust speed of CONTINIOUS_USE

[VortexZ]

I am making this entity and have the UseType set to CONTINIOUS_USE:
[lua]
self:SetUseType( CONTINUOUS_USE )

if ply:Health() < 100 then
if self:Health() < 0 then self:Remove() end
ply:SetHealth( ply:Health() + 1 )
self:SetHealth( self:Health() - 1 )

end
[/lua]

How do I make it slower.

Use a cooldown... Here's simple time controls: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/time/understanding_time%20and_basic_time_calculations.lua.html[/url]

So, just make sure the elapsed time since last cache either has not been set, or has exceeded x time, then set the last cache time to CurTime, and continue with your hp. Otherwise don't enter the if, or return..

if ( !self.LastHeal || CurTime( ) - self.LastHeal > 1 ) then

	-- run healing code here...

	self.LastHeal = CurTime( );

	-- or here

end

Here's a system that does everything for you, if it is attached to an entity ( if not use game.GetWorld( )... )

if ( !self:HasCooldown( "HealingDelay" ) ) then

	-- run healing code here...

	self:SetCooldown( "HealingDelay", 1 ); -- 1 second

	-- or here

end
