Where do I insert debounce into my script so the part wont trigger the function multiple times?
Lets say I have 2 parts. Front, and FrontDamaged. My script makes Front transparent, and FrontDamaged not transparent, whenever Front touches another part. It also plays a sound when it touches something. The thing is, it has no cooldown. And im stuck on where to add the debounce at.
01 | local Front = script.Parent.Front |
02 | local FrontDamaged = script.Parent.FrontDamaged |
03 | local sound = script.Parent.Crash |
04 | local debounce = false |
05 |
06 |
07 | if not sound.IsLoaded then |
08 | sound.Loaded:wait() |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | local function onPartTouched(otherPart) |
12 | print(Front.Name .. " has touched " .. otherPart.Name) |
13 | Front.Transparency = 1 |
14 | FrontDamaged.Transparency = 0 |
15 | sound:Play() |
16 |
17 | end |
18 |
19 | Front.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched) |
TLDR: I need help putting a debounce so the part wont touch stuff multiple times at once.

I put comments where you add it.
01 | local Front = script.Parent.Front |
02 | local FrontDamaged = script.Parent.FrontDamaged |
03 | local sound = script.Parent.Crash |
04 | local debounce = false |
05 |
06 |
07 | if not sound.IsLoaded then |
08 | sound.Loaded:wait() |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | local function onPartTouched(otherPart) |
12 | if debounce == false then --Here we check if it has been activated. |
13 | print(Front.Name .. " has touched " .. otherPart.Name) |
14 | Front.Transparency = 1 |
15 | FrontDamaged.Transparency = 0 |

Front.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched) is underlined red, and i have an error in output that says "18:12:48.076 - Workspace.mcslimemansCar.Crash Script:21: Expected 'end' (to close 'function' at line 11), got <eof>; did you forget to close 'then' at line 12?" mcslimeman 37 — 4y

Thanks, it works! I also added in a wait(1) and debounce = false so it can be activated again. Thanks again! mcslimeman 37 — 4y

Do you by any chance know how to make it not activate when a player touches it? mcslimeman 37 — 4y
