quickscope in typescript

Quickscoping is a technique used in FPS games where players aim down their weapon's scope for a brief moment before firing. In TypeScript, this can be achieved using the setTimeout function to create a delay before firing.

Here's a basic example of how to quickscope in TypeScript:

index.ts
function quickscope(fireDelay: number) {
  const scopeTime = 100; // ms
  const firingTime = 50; // ms

  // Aim down the scope
  // ...

  // Wait for a short amount of time
  setTimeout(() => {
    // Fire the weapon
    // ...

    // Return to normal state
    // ...
  }, fireDelay - scopeTime - firingTime);
}

// Usage:
quickscope(1000); // Fire after 1 second

In this example, the quickscope function takes a fireDelay parameter which determines when the weapon should be fired, in milliseconds. The scopeTime and firingTime constants determine how long the aiming and firing animations should last, respectively.

The setTimeout function creates a delay before firing, by subtracting the scopeTime and firingTime from the fireDelay and using that as the delay time. Inside the setTimeout callback function, the weapon is fired and then returned to its normal state.

With this implementation, you can quickly and easily add quickscoping functionality to your TypeScript FPS game.
