Why can't I reload delay count?

reloadDelayCount is underline in red. What's wrong with it? What am I missing? Does this method delay an action? 
public Ship ()
    {
        reloadDelayCount = 5;
        Vector intial = new Vector(Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(360), .6);
        setRotation(270);
    }

You need a line like this in the class: 
private int reloadDelayCount;

And does this delay an action?

No, this does not delay anything, but the error occurred because the line was missing. The question is what you want to delay.

So I'm using the wrong method? The initial movement.

You can delay it in the act method. Decrease the variable every act cycle and as long as it is above 0, exit the act method, so it does not do anything.

I'm confused you tell me to use it in the act method and then exit the act method. Just write it in code because it will be easier to understand.

# 
private int delay = 300;

public void act()
{
    if (delay>0)
    {
        delay--;
        return;
    }
    //rest of act method
}

If the 'reloadDelayCount' does what I think it does then something like this: 
private int reloadDelayCount;

// in act (or in a method it calls)
if (reloadDelayCount > 0 && --reloadDelayCount == 0) shots += 10; // adjust value as needed

// after firing a shot
if (--shot == 0) reloadDelayCount = 300;// adjust value as needed
