how to debounce InputBegan and InputEnded?
I'm just starting with lua coding, so the code can be very poorly written, but how to debounce this? I'm already tried several ways that turned out to be a failure so I decided to write about it here.
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key,gameProcessed)
if gameProcessed then return end
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
hum = char:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
if char then anim = hum:LoadAnimation(animInst) end
anim:Play()
anim.KeyframeReached:connect(function(keyframename)
if keyframename == 'Pause' then
anim:AdjustSpeed(0)
end
end)
end
end)
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(key,gameProcessed)
if gameProcessed then return end
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
anim:Stop()
castMagic(plr, mouse.Hit.Position)
end
end)

so you would want to place the debounce right after the gameProccessed event like so.
local debounce = false
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key,gameProcessed)
if gameProcessed then return end
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
--run keycode statements
wait(.5) -- or any time you want to wait fot the debounce
debounce = false
end
end
end)
Now if you click it no matter what it will wait(.5) until it can be activated again. However, I dont really know why you have that return end statement because it will then not even run the stop anim event.
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(key,gameProcessed)
if gameProcessed then return end
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
anim:Stop()
castMagic(plr, mouse.Hit.Position)
end
end)
In order to implement debounce, you need to have a variable that is set to something. You then set the function to require the debounce to have that originally set "something". In the function, you'll change the debounce to something else.
So in the example below, I have a debounce variable set to false at the beginning.
local debounce = false
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
print("Function Executed") -- Output: "Function Executed"
wait(3)
debounce == false
end
