If you want to add a cooldown to how many times a player can touch, then here is what I would do. Not sure if it will work, but it is good to give it a try!
01 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
02 | local sword = game.ReplicatedFirst.ClassicSword |
03 | local cooldown = false -- Sets the variable cooldown to false |
04 |
05 |
06 | local part = script.Parent |
07 | local function onTouched(part) |
08 | if cooldown == false then-- If cooldown is false then |
09 | cooldown = true -- cooldown will turn into true |
10 | local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) |
11 | if not player then return end |
12 | local backpack = player.Backpack |
13 | sword:Clone().Parent = backpack |
14 | wait(10) -- However long you want the cooldown time to be |
15 | cooldown = false [[-- After all the above has runned, cooldown will return to false so it can be touched again!--]] |
16 | end |
17 |
18 | part.Touched:Connect(onTouched) |

To make a cooldown with scripting, we use something called debounce. First, you would assign a value that a player sticks with until they trigger a function and their value is temporarily changed until the function is completed. In order for the function to run, however, the player is required to have a specific value which is their original value. Here's a demonstration:
01 | -- Let's say the script's parent is a TextButton |
02 |
03 | local debounce = false -- the player starts out with false |
04 |
05 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
06 | if debounce == false then -- the player's debounce needs to be false; otherwise, the rest of the code in this if statement will not run |
07 | debounce = true -- if the player clicks the button while their debounce is set to true, the code will not run because the if statement is checking if their debounce is false which it is not anymore |
08 | script.Parent.Text = "Click accepted" |
09 |
10 | else |
11 | print("Cooldown is not over yet!") |
12 | end |
13 |
14 | wait(2) -- player has to wait 2 seconds until their debounce is set back to false again |
15 | debounce = false -- now, they are able to repeat the function |
16 | end) |

but debounce is just a variable that is set to false. this means even the word "hello" can be set as the variable instead of debounce, and it will still work. Lightning_Game27 232 — 4y

That's right. It doesn't matter what you call it. AntiWorldliness 868 — 4y
