So I started to make a tycoon thing from scratch to learn but whenever the player touches a button it says the player has touched it like 3 times and makes the player pay 3 times as much for the thing. I have tried making a variable where when they touch the button it increases and it can't decrease the money again but it still gets rid of the money. Please help.

Player touching object multiple times?

Here's what I think you're trying to do.
local debounce = 3 --false is not activated, true is activated
local CanTouch = true
local timer = 2 --Change this to any number
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
if debounce <= 0 and CanTouch == true then
CanTouch = false
debounce = debounce - 1
--code here
wait(timer)
CanTouch = true
end
end)
Debounce. Debounce stops everything for a short amount of time. Put a variable called debounce and set it to false. It prevents 'spamming'.
local debounce = false --false is not activated, true is activated
local timer = 30 --Change this to any number
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
if not debounce then --Alternative: if debounce == false
debounce = true
--code here
wait(timer)
debounce = false
end
end)

I don't know if this is what he was on about... "player has touched it like 3 times and makes the player pay 3 times as much for the thing" i know you want rep but you're really not helping anybody by spamming answers and not understanding. So please try to ask before giving an answer (unless it's really obvious).

@VAHMPIN I explain things well.

It's not explaining if your giving out answers without the actual question being answered, did he ask for a wait time? - he's asking about increasing a variable, read before you answer, only answering for reputation is pitiful.

@VAHMPIN 'only answering for reputation is pitiful' I bet you wanna do the same. I'm only giving a starting point, and not a full answer. Isn't that the point of scriptinghelpers? to help but not to give answers?

I'm confused, could you give an example?
@Dovydas1118 Is correct. Use debounces (checks) to see if they can step on it again.
