_on_draw() isn’t run very often, you probably mean to use func _input for your shoot action, because it’s run for every input.

I’m not sure what the first three lines of your _on_draw were supposed to do, but the is_action_just_pressed could be better off in _input

func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
    if event.is_action_pressed("shoot"):
        print("Shot")
        visible = true

If you want it to always disapear after being shown you can use your timer after the action, but I’d recommend using a Timer node instead

func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
    if event.is_action_pressed("shoot"):
        print("Shot")
        visible = true

        # wait 0.1 then set back to invisible
        await get_tree().create_timer(0.1).timeout
        visible = false
