We will implement the cooldown system that will deactivate the BarrierObject button as shown in the following screenshot:

Then, we will make the barrier's apparition smoother by tweening its scale.

Cooldown implementation

In order to implement the required cooldown, we need to open the BarrierObjectController.cs script and add the following two necessary variables with an initialization on Awake():

//We will need the Button and the Label
