Im trying to make a checkpoint sound, but it keeps on spamming the sound every time the player moves! What should I do?
local SP = script.Parent
function onTouch(hit)
local H = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if H ~= nil then
SP.Sound:Play()
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)
script.Parent.TouchEnded = false
you should use a debounce. Here I’ll show you
local SP = script.Parent
local debounce = false
function onTouch(hit)
if not debounce then
local H = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”)
debounce = true
if H ~= nil and debounce == true then
SP.Sound:Play()
wait()
debounce = false
end
end
end)
SP.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
SP.TouchEnded = false
You can use a debounce. From what I've seen from the community chat, A debounce is basically a cooldown. When a thing bounces, it keeps going on forever until the original contact is released. A debounce just prevents this from happening over and over again.
local debounce = false --False is deactivated, True is activated
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) --You can do this the other way, I just prefer doing it
if not debounce then --Alternative: If debounce == false
debounce = true
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then --This is to prevent NPCs from touching it
script.Parent.Sound:Play()
wait(5) --Change this to any number
debounce = false
end
end
end)
I've added some bits, in order to make the script more neater, and to prevent other things. Edit: I've refined the coding, because I'm not using roblox studio.

debounce makes it that it won’t keep repeating until it ended.
@Graze022 I suggest putting the debounce = true on top.
what changed here is that you have debounce now. Which will stop your sound from repeating. Hope this helps!
@Davydas1118 still does the same thing
