I have a SpiderMan Physics game and when shooting my web onto floating blocks in the sky, it shoots multiple webs if I spam click. The debounce does not seem to work. I am wanting to have it to where you click and then it waits .5 seconds before you can click again

LocalScript

01local Clicked = false
02 
03Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
04    if Clicked == false and Mouse.Target ~= nil and Character:FindFirstChild('LeftHand') then -- when they click,
05        local Pos = Mouse.Hit.p
06 
07        local Request = 'ShootWeb'
08        ShootWeb:FireServer(Request,Pos) -- ..it shoots the web
09 
10        wait(.5)
11        Clicked = true
12    elseif Clicked == true then
13        local Request = 'RemoveWeb'
14        RemoveWeb:FireServer(Request)
15 
16        wait(.5)
17        Clicked = false
18    end
19end)

ServerScript

01ShootWeb.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,Request,MousePos)
02    if Request == 'ShootWeb' then
03 
04        -- code below can be ignored
05        local Part = Instance.new('Part',workspace.AttatchmentParts)
06        Part.Name = Player.Name
07        Part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
08        Part.Transparency = 1
09        Part.Anchored = true
10        Part.CanCollide = false
11        Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(MousePos)
12 
13        local Att0 = Instance.new('Attachment',Player.Character.LeftHand)
14        local Att1 = Instance.new('Attachment',Part)
15 
16        Rope = Instance.new('RopeConstraint',Player.Character.LeftHand)
17        Rope.Color = BrickColor.new('Institutional white')
18        Rope.Visible = true
19        Rope.Length = (Player.Character.LeftHand.Position - Part.Position).magnitude
20        Rope.Attachment0 = Att0
21        Rope.Attachment1 = Att1
22    end
23end)

Help would be greatly appreciated!

well assuming u put the debounce local canshootweb = true right before the if statement it might just get back to true the whole time? test it with a print IcyMizu 122 — 4y

The script is kinda messy, a lot of undefined variables. Maybe you can clear it up? d1_rek 46 — 4y

try placing a print on --code for shooting web o_fex 146 — 4y

Try placing the Clicked = true before the fire server. SethHeinzman 284 — 4y

I would simply just add another variable in your local script. Maybe a variable called CanClick

Exmaple:

01local Clicked = false
02local CanClick = true
03 
04Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
05    if Clicked == false and Mouse.Target ~= nil and Character:FindFirstChild('LeftHand') and CanClick then
06    CanClick = false
07    Clicked = true
08        local Pos = Mouse.Hit.p
09 
10        local Request = 'ShootWeb'
11        ShootWeb:FireServer(Request,Pos) -- ..it shoots the web
12 
13        wait(.5)
14        CanClick = true
15    elseif Clicked == true and CanClick then
16    CanClick = false
17    Clicked = false
18        local Request = 'RemoveWeb'
19        RemoveWeb:FireServer(Request)
20 
21        wait(.5)
22        CanClick = true
23    end
24end)

Add the following into the local script Mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function() Clicked = falseend)

I am still able to spam it and creates a lot of ropes FiredDusk 1466 — 4y

in other terms, the remote is firing multiple times FiredDusk 1466 — 4y

I thought you meant one click fired multiple times. Just create a debounce. d1_rek 46 — 4y
