Wrong creation of enemy bullets

Trying to create enemies shooting, but in fact shooting only FIRST of enemies. Where is the mistake?
the problem was that you've created just one timer to spawn bullets from enemies. In fact each enemy need his own timer.
Code: Select all
--Check Shooting
for i, enemy in ipairs(enemies) do
-- Update Shooting interval timer --
enemy.timer = enemy.timer - (1*dt)
if enemy.timer < 0 then
enemy.canShoot = true
end
-- Spawn Bullet --
if enemy.canShoot then
newEnemyBullet = { x = enemy.x + enemy.sprite:getWidth()/2 - enemyBulletSprite:getWidth()/2, y = enemy.y + enemy.sprite:getHeight() - enemyBulletSprite:getHeight(), sprite = enemyBulletSprite}
table.insert(enemyBullets, newEnemyBullet)
enemy.canShoot = false
enemy.timer = canShootEnemyTimerMax
end
