how to make a block remove only one live?

Asked 210 views1 answers

so this is the code i have for 

local player
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
		player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		player.leaderstats.lives.Value = player.leaderstats.lives.Value - 1
	end
end)

but when i run the code and try it, it kills me but when i look at the leaderboard it can reduce my lives up to 4 times for one death i have tried a lot of things but im not sure what to do or how do i make it so the code is only run once

local player
debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if debounce == true then return end
    debounce = true
    if hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
        player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        player.leaderstats.lives.Value = player.leaderstats.lives.Value - 1
        wait(5) 
	debounce = false
    end
end)

The debounce is first set to false before the brick is touched. If the debounce is set to true when the player touches it, the function will return, which just means it will stop and go back to the top. If it is false, it will go on and set the value to true. It will run through the code, killing the player, taking their lives away, and then it will wait five seconds. This is the default time it takes a character to respawn, and you can change it according to the time you have it set to. After the five seconds, you will be able to touch the brick again.

If this helped, please accept the answer :D
